Literally unplayable, impossible to play

Excessive wait time to log in, constant crashes, network errors, or other disruptions whether using wifi or not; extremely poor GPS navigating is constantly over 50 meters off; literally cant catch Pokémon, so why play at all?
Lvl 1 you catch everything easily, but at higher levels you literally cant buy Pokémon - you can try using special berries and ultra balls with excellent throws to no avail. The new gym system is no better. 8 30+ lvl players on a tyranitar raid boss beat it, only 2 got to catch it. This isnt RNG - random number generator, its ACT - antagonize chaos theory.
The group Im in generally has a two ball max then out, because from an ROI perspective (return on investment (of time and effort in this case)) we cant justify using more than 2 balls if youre not going to get an average of two balls per pokestop. So, you cant level up without playing and catching Pokémon, you cant catch Pokémon without balls, and you cant gather enough balls on a 100 mile hike in pokestop land to use.
Just conducting experiments one day, we watched as a CP 95 ratatta jumped up or forward 8 times in rapid succession and was literally uncatchable. The next random encounter was a CP 650 raticate that took 15 ultra balls to catch. We conducted an experiment and used a lure on three nearby stops and clearly noted no extra Pokémon encounters, and the Pokémon we did encounter were clearly more difficult to catch, so it is conclusive that lures are a waste of time. Weve traveled the world and conclusively found your chances to encounter a rare Pokémon are practically zero. Its also clear the game detects if you "harvest" pidgies to evolve and level up and low CP pidgies then become exceedingly hard to find and difficult to catch. There are 9 of us in the group, weve played over a year and spent an average of about $150 on lucky eggs and such, we play an average of 5 hours per week, and our highest level member is only level 34. After long careful consideration the game simply cant be played. And, its clear the youtubers with 1m+ subscribers are paid, likely by Niantic or other sponsors. If somehow you got paid after level 40 to play, via YouTube or otherwise, it would make sense. But otherwise, this is a simple collector type game, it has too many bugs and quirks, and the collection effort too often ends in fruition. We dont expect Monty Hall, lets make a deal and you get a prize regardless of which door you choose. But, the game is Unplayable. Not fun or enjoyable.
