Rural player here. Currently living in a small town with many WW2 era historical buildings / objects around, but due to it being small town with even smaller playerbase, nominating things takes a lot of time and effort. Working on it for 3rd year now.
Before I started nominating (with few other players) this town had 7 poke stops around 40km radius. Walking between 2 stops was 13 km walk at best. I did this trip during summer time almost daily.
There is fine line between being lazy, and making things bearable so you dont have to become olympic athlete to play the game to be on par "just like city people".
Not really. The smoke has gotten a lot worse, and you still want to catch something, especially in events. There are places with 1-2 stops where you never see anyone. Places with more stops encourage people to move, catch, meet, and otherwise interact. And especially now that the weather is supposed to get better soon, people also like to go for a walk while playing and that also in busier places with many stops so that the pokeball can bring a few items. And the radius j isn't forever either. then prefer a smaller radius but more stops to balance it out.
