General discussion

Hackers are not just violating ToS, their activity may have constituted crimes.

The definition of a hacker “a person who uses computers to gain unauthorized access to data.” The definition of a Spoofer “Similar to a hacker, but the things a spoofer does are completeley legal and don’t harm anything in any way” Do you notice that ones Legal and ones Illegal?

Given the fact that spoofers are not committing crimes, I don’t think spoofers should gain attention from Niantic.

What it is are the large YouTubers making out that Spoofers are the root cause of everything wrong in the game. Niantic didn’t release Trading? Blame Spoofers. GoFest failed? Blame Spoofers. There are worse groups in the game that these guys just ignore

Niantic doesn’t know how to determine slight or important, urgent or non-urgent of a thing. YTbers are brainwashing machine!:rage:

It’s because Niantic are rarely in public or speak to anyone, so all anyone really has are those YouTubers and their opinions

You’ve get the main point - Niantic is ignoring the playerbase! The poll represents our stance on hackers and spoofers which shows the result is ‘hate towards hackers outweighs hate towards spoofers’. How come they don’t realise it!

They won’t realise until December, when the game goes dark and there’s very few players left

That’s too late! At that time hackers may take over 3 or accounts illegally. It will be beyond redemption, leading to the dead end of Pokemon GO.

It’s like the American election: where one side was claiming to protest for unity and equality while saying that the other side was all racist and stuff. Mystic7 can’t want this game to live while openly hating a chunk of the player base

YTbers are harassing each other. The world of YT is even darker, deeper and inapproachable.

It’s just Clickbait, bullying and lies

Players who are brainwashed claims that there can’t be neutral YTbers. Players who don’t support ‘the ideal choice’ from YTbers like Mystic7, TrainerTips and Reversal will be eliminated.:angry:

I’ve noticed that the small YouTubers that have little Subs are the ones that aren’t biased because they don’t want to make money of it.

Yeah it’s a mug’s game. Their clickbaiting titles have spilt apart playerbase! They don’t know honor and shame!:rage:

I didn’t even use YouTube back then, but I want the golden days of the site to come back. When people didn’t do it to make money, and just did it for fun

:+1: @JoshHack, I want those golden days as well. GameXplain did a great work in the past but now I see Switch Force copying titles and content from it. :frowning:

I’ve always wanted to do YouTube just to share my love of this game with the site, but the website is only about money ATM. It sucks☹️

Why can’t Niantic be neutral on every topic? They only listen to YTbers idea, ignoring rest of the players’ idea.

We’re the irrelevant ones, but are the ones that still spend on the game and actually know everything good and bad about it. Mystic didn’t even know any Pokemon when he started, but he started to make money so no one cared
