    I had read that with some people, is was a delay from their server instance between read/write and in the end the changes did end up sticking, but I don’t know if that was true. A lot of people were mass editing at the same time, and since editing isn’t something that happens super frequently, it might have less priority in the stack and caused backups.

      They change it on their website but the data that’s collected and sold isn’t changed.

      It still devalues their google search though but also makes it harder to scrap data for free and ups the value of what they are selling.

        For sure. They definitely have change records for everything. It would be borderline negligent if they didn’t.
