This was the actual reason if I recall correctly. He lived on a small side street that suddenly had lots of traffic. He realized Google maps was suggesting that street for directions and came up with this ingenious plan to get Google to redirect traffic elsewhere.

The article says that it was just an experiment and the artist’s original post doesn’t mention anything else.

No, as far as we know, it was just an (art) experiment of sorts

It would be more effective just to have multiple android vms with mock location running and have them each be connected to a free vpn

I love how the title says around 99. When it’s not accurate, they could have written around 100 lol.

It’s “wheeled around”, not “around 99”.

Oh I see I don’t know how to read. But what psychopath buys 99 phones to wheel them around and doesn’t buy the 100th one?

It’s not really unclear. One does not “wheel” a phone, and “around 99” makes no sense with such a precise value. And it’s not even funny misinterpreted so awkwardly.
