Reducing number of spawns?

It is just me or there are less pokemon spawns since the last couple of days? I am noticing less spawns than before during my walks, I live on a normal town, not small but not big and normally where I could see 5/6 cluster spawns I am now getting only 2/3 mon. Is anyone else noticing a reduced amount of pokemon?

If this is the case it makes me wonder why? Getting dust is already hard enough, they are nerfing all the ways to get dust and nerfing raid rewards too in a desperate way to make us buy incubators again? I can't see any other reason to remove spawn points, I understand they do it on big cities because the number of spawns is big enough and they have nests too but why do it in towns too? I don't have a single nest in 20km radius so I can't understand this...

I kinda noticed.. but it might be coincidence.. I don't know.

I heard that they are reducing the number of Pokemon spawns because people are not buying as many raid passes as before so they are trying to get trainers to by incense and lures to find Pokemon instead of it being in the wild. Also heard a rumor that they will be getting rid of Nests soon to.

I dont see any reduction.
Getting Rid of Nests would kill the game.
Nests are the best thing they have right now to help complete the pokedex.
Without Nest i would only have 50/239 in my Dex and probably wouldnt have any Rock/Fighting/Ground Types.

Do you suspect that you may have been shadow banned?
Do you see rare pokemon?

I read in an article that Eevee is 'rare' in terms of shadow banned mons. Is this true?
I think my issue has been with cell service or something, but whenever it seems like less spawns I look for Eevee to see if I got shadow banned.

Not at all, level 39 completely legit player since day 1. No way I am banned. Also I have caught recently Dratini, Larvitar and some evolutions like Meganium or Quilava. So no, that is not the case, there are just less spawns on some locations of my town, clusters are not that big and normal spawns either.

I would say they have removed 1/8 spawns or so.
