Niantic have definitely handled this situation badly. Not only the removal of the increased pokestop/interaction radius, but as well as the absence of communication/response to the overwhelming amount of feedback we’ve given. We shouldn’t be mad at each other, but with Niantic.
Community: KEEP THE DOUBLE SPIN DISTANCE FOR POKÉSTOPS!!!
Niantic: Ye, ye, ye, so what about Gen 8?
Not this time #PokemonGO I'm not going to be excited about this until a statement is made.
I don’t really play pogo anymore so here’s my unrelated thoughts
-I love pickles and olives
-sparkling water is life🔥
-pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza
-I love cats
-I love tattoos
-double weakness to hot dude/chic with cats
-Alakazam is better than mewtwo
Kai and I continue to take a stand for ourselves and we won’t spend anymore money on #PokemonGo
We lost motivation big time and don’t even care about opening the game so feel free to delete us for being inactive
We won’t be driven by fomo anymore

You seriously want to be heard?
1. Don't do any AR mapping. Niantic collects this data and sells it.
2. Stop spending money. You can get 50 coins a day from gyms.
3. Don't spin sponsored stops. Heck even Niantic is helping you guys with that one.
4. Don't open sponsored gifts.
After spending the last 2 hours reading hundreds of Tweets & Comments about the DECREASED interaction radius, I can't find anyone saying that they like the change. With so many NEGATIVE feelings just from US & NZ, I can't imagine what will happen when this rolls out worldwide...
I will be using my remaining coins sparingly over the month of August while I await the actions of #Niantic. But I am effectively joining the #BoycottNiantic movement. No worries if you delete me 🤗
RIP #PokemonGo This game has gone from being a fun daily activity to work to obtain the required resources to play. The Pokéstop and Gym access distance reduction in the US and NZ makes this game a job. I already have a job - that I get paid for. @NianticHelp @PokemonGoApp
. @NianticLabs instead of decreasing Stop/Gym spin distance leave it 2x distance BUT decrease distance for SPONSORED Stops/Gyms to 1km for those POIs: increase their item drop RARITY & drop rate AMOUNT so people will go out of their way to spin them. + offer DISCOUNTS IN-STORE.🙏
