Still, I think the location scanning isn’t as valuable as the pathing data they’ve been collecting. Besides, Google Maps has images of the majority of these scans anyway. But walking path data from millions of players for years is valuable for routing delivery paths.
Eh, I think its exppress purpose is delivery bots, and authoritative control is a happy accident. I’m cynical enough to see it foremost as corporate greed.
We live in a country that Ring advertised mass surveillance systems as a Superbowl ad for finding lost dogs.
Delivering food has never been about food. It’s extremely unprofitable. It’s always been about normalizing and optimizing oppressive systems of gig work; and destroying the ability of the working class to face their bosses or even their coworkers.
I did actually play a bit of Ingress back in the day. I was one of two players in my entire neighborhood. Was never interested in PokemonGo tho. I think anything Pokemon is straight ass nowadays.
Sure, but nobody knows what “an ingress” is but almost everyone has heard of Pokemon. I’d also assume the size of the player base is not comparable.
Not by a long shot even at Ingress’ peak.

FTFY. Crowd control.

Google maps has images of streets, they don’t have images of the middle of a park or the middle of a Hospital lobby.
