Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaints

I don't get shiny hunters on Community Days. Temporary bragging rights or something idk? IMO, it is SUUUCCCHHHH a waste of time UNLESS you already have a ton of candy and good CD pokemon to evolve. I raided with a guy this weekend who I know got like 15 shiny Swinub back in Feb on Swinub CD and he only played for like 1.5 hours. He pretty much rode around shiny checking the entire time and not catching anything else. Fast forward 6 months to this weekend and he mentioned he had to evolve a few Glaceon in between raids because he only had two level 30 Mamo (not enough candy). Really, like wtf guys?

I pinaped and caught every Swinub I saw and grinded out like 1900+ candy which means I was able to easily make a good IV team of 6 lvl 35+ mamos with like 1000 candy to spare. Candy grinding has proven much more valuable on CD's for me than shiny checking. Not to mention I get to evolve like 12 CD mons when there is a relevant exclusive move. Also not to mention I STILL ended up with like 9 shiny Swinub catching everything. HOW MANY SHINY CD MONS DO YOU NEED?? WHY??
