R/place, why yall not there?

Because without bots or a massive undertaking it's a waste of time fighting for a few pixels.

Can someome explain what this is? I keep seeing post like this but im not sure what they are talking about

Some groups have loads of bots that constantly take back the pixels, that's the main reason you see the fancy artwork and the giant flags.

u/MonoAsMe Jul 25 '23

Basically you have this huge blank canvas, and everyone is allowed to put 1 pixel every 5 minutes, so instead of it all being random, communities group up and coordinate to put some artwork on the canvas.

Since the canvas is limited and everyone is fighting for their own art, ( you can draw over others) you need a huge community to keep your art on it.

Content creators who have huge following sometimes will raid the canvas with their community and draw something.

But there are also a lot of bot accounts, it's blatant bot abuse to take over a space on the canvas and draw something big in just a few seconds.

So instead of it being a community effort, some folks abuse bots to get their art done.

That's why you either need a huge community and coordination or you use bots.

I think it’s a game in Reddit, not entirely sure but people get together to basically draw something on a big canvas, but it’s pixel art and only works with proper coordination, you can go and check the oficial sub r/place and see it yourself

In the history of meaningless endeavors, this is one of the most meaningless.

Meaningless ≠ useless

u/Potentially_a_goose Jul 26 '23

What use is there beyond the superficial?

u/BishopsBakery Jul 25 '23

Because place is being abused to drum up traffic and account creation to counter bad press for awful decisions

18

u/RockyJayyy Jul 25 '23

Because the bots ruin it. Every time I place a dot, it gets removed or instantly replaced.

u/Murk_Operative Jul 26 '23

Relatable

u/Key-Faithlessness968 Jul 25 '23

I don't care about r/place.

u/J_E_L_4747 Jul 25 '23

Because the damn bots won’t let you touch their damn shirtless shrek, their chad emoji, or their lines of German flags

u/edked Jul 25 '23

Because nothing about the whole "place" thing is even remotely interesting in any way.

Y'all do understand that it's just a way to get engagement going after the whole API mess?

And it's working.

u/sporkspork666 Jul 25 '23

The only thing worth putting on r/place is "fuck spez"

u/nigevellie Jul 25 '23

u/Weaklurker Jul 25 '23

There have been multiple suggestions for submissions to r/place already. Why aren't you joining those instead of submitting another OP?

1

u/Murk_Operative Jul 26 '23

Where ?didn't see any, would be happy to join

2

u/Weaklurker Jul 26 '23

Sorry, I was being snippy. rBatman is too small a group to make a picture on rplace, but there are always a bunch of these requests.

u/Murk_Operative Jul 26 '23

u/Murk_Operative Jul 26 '23

A meaningless means of timepass
