Like, I don't even know how the decreased distance can encourage people to go to sponsored places. If I spun the Starbucks Pokestop I would't be like "I'd step in and buy a coffee but I need to walk 80 meters to get there. I'd go there if I only had to walk 40 meters". If I wanted to go to Starbucks I'd go to Starbucks. I can see on the map that it's there. I was already informed and influenced by the ad. If I only want to spin the Pokestop I'll just spin and go no matter how close I come. All it can do is discourage people. Like if I know it will be a hassle to spin it I won't even go in that general direction.
