Too many Mewtwo raids?
I'm looking at my Nearby screen at lunch today, and there are 5 raids going on - all 5 are Mewtwo. Couple nights ago I'm looking to do a raid and there's 4 Raids nearby - 2 Mewtwo and a Charmander. I wake up at 7am and robotically turn on Pokémon Go (Don't judge m... okay, judge me, yeah, I should wait until I put on pants to open up PoGo.) to see 2 Mewtwo raids and an Alakazam ending in 7min. (there should be a law against Raids that end before 7:30am)
It's not just that I'm bored with Mewtwo raids (which I am; I've got 20 now), it's that I would like to do other Raids too. Alakazam, for instance, or even Scyther. A Dratini raid or two might be interesting. Raids for Pokemon that will evolve in Gen 4 are pretty high on my list of non-Mewtwo raids to do generally. But it seems like there is an absolute over-abundance of Mewtwo raids in my area, to the point where I have the choice of Mewtwo or nothing most of the time.
Anywhere else seeing a similar number of Mewtwo raids?

Yes there are too many but Niantic gotta make money.
I've only done about eight and wont be upping that pace; i enjoy playing this game at my own pace rather than rushing out my house whenever one spawns. Fortunately i caught a 100% so can enjoy doing future ones without worrying about IVs. Niantic aren't making money from me with this event but they are from a lot of other players.
I'm disappointed there's no Absol or Aerodactyl raids as i want shiny variants of those.
There are too many Mewtwo raids for the regular Pokemon Go players but there are a lot of casual players who have never been to an EX raid. It gives them a chance to get a Mewtwo. To me, I am already bored with Mewtwo because they are no longer have access to Shadowball. It is the most useful charge move; for future raids or just neutral damage. Unless you plan on hitting Machamp raids. A pure psychic Mewtwo isn't very useful. A Mewtwo with icebeam is but we do not know how long it will be because if they introduce gen IV, we might have some pokemon that match Mewtwo's dps as an ice attacker or even surpass him.
Im opposite to you. Hunting in my area( 12 gyms i see from home) for Mewtwo. When i woke up, there was 2 morning (9:PM), but with just 15 and 23 mins, so havent chance. next one i find finally at 8 AM. Whole day was mainly T1 ( but no dratini, sadly), T3( mainly Alakazams, i dont like) 1 Golem , 1 Snorlax. and and Magmar.
Just RNG
