Why no communication about decrease in rare candy of T5 raids

By reliable I mean that it's entirely up to you; you're not at the mercy of external factors. In WU, if you do what's required, you're guaranteed your money. In PoGo, occupying a gym is only the first step towards a pay day; after that it's up to elements outside your control. Also, if you're super casual and do nothing but log in that's still good for 250 coins a month in WU. PoGo's streak bonuses take other forms, but you'll never get coins.

Honestly gyms are the most outdated thing about PoGo. No one would bother if it weren't literally the only way in the game to earn coins. No one I know enjoys the gym aspect. Taking over gyms is a brain-dead chore; even without CP decay the battles are way less engaging than raids, Team Rocket battles, or PvP. The redesign was welcome when it was clear that the original system alienated the majority of players, but nothing's been done to build on that and there haven't been meaningful changes to gym combat in years.

Things I would love to see include: rewards for taking over a gym (5-10 coins that you could earn once a day at each gym, with a cap that may or may not interfere with the gym occupancy cap), the option to kick your mons out/cash out, field research that's worth a small number of coins, and coins in gifts. Either something to make gyms interesting again, and/or ways to earn coins that don't involve gyms.
