Why do you guys spoof?

For me it was because I wanted to raid but did not want to use my Facebook (there are no discord servers for coordinating raids in my area). I created an alternate fb profile but my requests to join the local raid group were repeatedly declined, even after I messaged them. I wanted legendaries, but not badly enough to use my Facebook profile, and I have my reasons for that. So, in the same moment I was ready to quit the game, I considered spoofing. That was two weeks ago, I now have over a dozen legendaries including a 100% Articuno. Essentially, if there was a discord server for coordinating raids in my area or a way to do so in the game, it is very likely that I wouldn't have started spoofing because I believe it depreciates the value of the game's original concept for everyone... for example, imagine telling someone who'd never heard of spoofing and was insanely lucky enough to have stumbled upon and caught a 100% Lvl 30 Larvitar that it had also been sniped on a whim by an indeterminable amount of other players around the world from the comfort of their homes (lol).
