Gamify it like Pokémon Go and you've really got something here!

(like a way to fund your game through a byproduct generated by your users instead of annoying advertising)

The OSM community is still fixing damage caused by the Pokemon community so I'd be careful with that comparison ;)

What damage?

The game spawned creatures anywhere there were parks or water features. Players figured this out and suddenly parks appear everywhere. Parks coming out our ears.

I think on the balance contributions from Pokemon Go players are a positive, but there are people that fake in data to try to manipulate the game.
