Will this wayspot become a pokestop + will a gym spawn

@salixsorbus

This is now much harder, because photo likes don’t affect gym creation - it is now random.

I am not ready to say that the process is random now. But Niantic has said in the past that they consider trying to manipulate which becomes the gym to be abuse, so I don’t test out this theory. They did not choose to comment when this came up on this forum, so I can’t give a current link. But this is a previous discussion here: From PokeStop to Gym?
