Big things were remote raids, where only one player had to be at the location of the raid, then could invite ten other people all sitting at home, and then they gave out three free remote raid passes every week. They also made incense 60 minutes, and spawned a new mon every minute, and it worked while stationary, no walking requirement. They also increased the radius for pokestops, so you could spin them from further away and players didn't need to cluster together, then they also gave every player a daiy spawn that appeared where they were no matter where they were, so you could catch at least one mon per day.
There was also the debate of Gen 6 mons in the winter of 2020, and a lot of people were hyped about Froakie. Niantic built up a lot of goodwill during the pandemic, and then as soon as it was starting to end, they pissed all of it away by fucking the playerbase in the ass and reverting eveyr change made.
