There is a germ of truth in Christoph's stat

This import is not the first contact of NavAds with OSM editing. The
first one was a proposed import of Aral petrol stations in Germany (only
two stations were missing). The second one was done by a different
contractor than the first one and failed miserably [1]. At least parts,
maybe even the whole import was reverted due to wrong tags and a lack of
transparency, discussion and documentation. It was considered as search
engine optimisation.

We should keep in mind that NavAds's business is to improve the
visibility of its customers and OSM is only platform among a few dozens
of platforms they want to serve.

Best regards

Michael
