meh. I’m not interested in participating, but for a short uptick in user activity, a bunch of tech journals will be writing about this and they’ll come up is searches about /r/place for years to come. It will be a net lose for spez.
Looks like a shitload of people accessing it several times a day, some watching it like hawks, and an entire genre of Reddit refugees who’ve taken to advertising it on a daily basis.
Have they actually been censoring it? I keep hearing that the fuck Spez stuff is being deleted but Idk if they’re doing it or it’s just getting overwritten lol
honestly think it’s just the people writing fk spez arent staying on long enough to upkeep it, or just dont care about reddit enough. THOUGH im pretty sure mods were caught using their unlimited pixels last r/place
Sorry if I’m misinterpreting your comment, but that’s usually in reference to people who expect you to make unilateral sacrifices as protest. Foregoing r/place isn’t a sacrifice like foregoing a smartphone entirely is; the whole point either way (deface/ignore) is just to send a message.
Reddit isn’t but the internet is. The internet has been getting shittier the past year and people feel it. How many times do you append reddit at the end of your google searches? How many times does google send you reddit search results?
Reddit is a remnant of the internet before it got centralized and capitalism fucked it up. Yes, we are federated but a majority won’t be switching for a long time. I think there is validity in defacing /r/place as it brings awareness and documents the shitty things the admins are doing. That is very powerful and easy to point and show others what is happening.
yeah but in this context it isn’t. I’m just saying, if people want to protest the site’s changes, it’s better for them to protest within the site itself rather going somewhere else and disturbing people there.
Apes together still giving Reddit traffic.
It’s like writing anti-walmart propaganda on a thousand one dollar bills and then spending them all at Walmart.

Tiny, insignificant amount of traffic to send a lasting messagem. Worth it.

yeah but lowkey how funny would it be if that was the final r/place image they’ve gotta solidify in history

Wont everyone leave after r/place ends? Does it matter if the extra traffic is only temporary?
Will they? I think theyre gonna find a new way to complain about reddit while still using reddit
you criticize society… but you participate in society… curious

I’m sorry, I missed the part where Reddit is a integral and necessary part of modern life.

I didn’t say it was?
smartest meme repeater
That’s what that meme you mentioned is usually referencing…when somebody criticizes a thing they depend on.
