Ryan- Geofeeds don’t ‘help’ IPInfo because they ignore them if their measurement platform comes up with a conflicting result. Anyone who publishes a geofeed has already provided the answers for free. Why should I help a commercial entity clean up the data that they sell when I’ve already done the work to give the answers for nothing?

Geofeeds are automated submissions and corrections, which helps them regardless. Are you not going to produce and maintain a geofeed, because it helps for-profit businesses?
