  "textContent": "In May 2025 the OSM website introduced two new optional fields in user profiles: company and location. I recently analyzed whether these fields could be useful for detecting organized (paid) editing accounts for my How Did You Contribute (HDYC) pages. Short summary:\n\n  * Around 66k active user profiles analyzed\n  * About 1,000 unique company entries\n  * About 2,200 location values\n\n\n\nInterestingly, large companies such as Apple, Amazon, or Meta still mostly appear in the profile description, not in the dedicated company field. I wrote a more detailed blog post here.\n\nWhile working on this analysis I also added username history to HDYC, derived from the full changeset replication history. I am not fully happy with the current presentation and would appreciate feedback:\n\n  1. Move the username section further down?\n  2. Add a time-based filter (e.g. last 5–10 years)?\n  3. Remove it.\n\n",
