…and others are vowing to no longer spend money in the game.
@NianticLabs I’m not spending money on @PokemonGoApp anymore 🤬 this company only cares about revenue! The pandemic is not over! Why do you make playing Pokémon go more difficult? #BoycottNiantic

The distance change is a pain for a lot of people.
The distance interaction change for the pandemic made the game better. That’s a plain and simple fact. Taking it away, makes the game worse. You have to know this. I do not recall a #BoycottNiantic in the past. @NianticLabs @NianticHelp @johnhanke @PokemonGoApp

There are other Pokemon catching options!
I prefer to catching Pokemon on my GameBoy anyway. #BoycottNiantic

Still no response from Niantic, however.
I’ve been playing Pokémon Go off & on for years. Started playing it again & It’s pretty egregious that Niantic isn’t addressing any of the recent Covid related changes. Listen to your community. #BoycottNiantic #PokemonNoDay
