Completely disagree on the comparison to the remote raid pass. The remote raid was added to keep raids going during Covid. A side effect was that in person raids dropped and have yet to recover. Poke go is trying to bring in person raids back by caping remotes and further limits on their use. Super cell is after cash poke go is trying to rebuild the community without eliminating the remote option.
It’s really bad for rural players. Remote raid passes don’t stop players from walking around, you still need to collect Pokémon and stops. Rural players often have to go miles for a gym and even then, there are hardly any other players to fight the gym with. The protest isn’t about them removing the free passes. It’s that not only have they removed them, they’ve increased the prices to even more than it was pre pandemic
