I recently built a map-based website (https://www.eatlect.com) to visualize influencer-reviewed restaurants. The purpose is to make it easy to find these restaurants and the review videos.
Just finished updating data for NYC by adding 130+ restaurants reviewed by Righteous Eats, mainly small eats run by immigrants and members of minority groups. From the interactive map you can also find restaurants reviewed by other food influencers including Keith Lee and Mark Wiens.

Best thing to do would be to unbuild it. Influencers are less than worthless.
Keith Lee’s schtick did not work in nyc at all. He made some truly bizarre choices here.
Cool! A map of restaurants that are overrated! It’ll be good to know which restaurants will be crowded in spite of middling food quality with bizarre presentation.
So, perhaps put all these places on the ignore list?
Great now I know what places to avoid. I guess your app has some value
If someone mention wah dung and mei Lai Wah again, I’m going to scream.
