Saudi is buying it for all the data that's been collected. What's the use for it, who knows?

It would be funny/interesting if, in an effort to grow the player base, they brought back the same settings implemented for COVID (when the game was super popular) and made it accessible to disabled people again.

I know a few people that had to quit the game when Niantic reverted back to "normal" gameplay after lockdowns ended. Idk, maybe this won't be entirely crap; probably will be, but it would be nice if it weren't and improved things instead.
