Why do people leave Pokemon GO Gyms empty?

Sometimes spoofers will leave a gym empty if the trainers who live locally know them as a spoofer and would report them if they put Pokémon into a gym. Sometimes, though, it's as simple as someone forgetting to put a Pokémon in, or not being able to get one in before a raid starts.

Why LOW CP Pokémon are BETTER IN GYMS!

Will I get 350 PokeCoins or 50 if I only have one Pokémon in the gym for 7 days?

You'll get only 50 and it's of the day your pokemon returned. Since the limit of pokecoin you can get in a single day is 50. If my Pokémon stays at a new gym in Pokémon Go indefinitely (I keep feeding it and it keeps winning battles), do I ever earn coins if it stays at gym? Not currently.
