Kinda sad that they're opening the game up for advertisers to create pokestops before they get around to allowing user submitted ones for under-served areas.

Exactly. And monetizing pokestops is a decent long-term strategy, I just hope they get around to fixing some of the game's larger issues for players.

So many other insightful voaters manage to do that for me all the time, so it's cool to be on the producing end from time to time :)

it makes perfect sense doing it this way. why add free stops of someone is willing to pay for them? I have a feeling rural and suburban players will be positively affected by this the most as savvy businesses know if they are in a poke-desert. once they sell what they can then they can give them away. if Niantic had done it the other way around no one would have faith in their ability to keep the game going long term.
