236 points AntiCoat

r/place was good until it started to become overrun by bots and admins cheating. Seems like Reddit has a habit of turning everything into shit. (including their logo)

parent

94 points PrestigeArrival

One thing that really sucked the joy out of it was streamers who would recruit their fanbase to participate in it.

One person recruiting a couple hundred people is much less impressive than a couple hundred people coming together on their own and organizing something.

parent root

45 points Infidel-Art

What if, instead of one global board for everyone, users got randomly put into small groups with mini-boards they could war over. Like 256 users per board.

I don't think as many people would bother to bot that, streamers couldn't reliably organize their fanbase, AND it'd lead to lots of unique boards with different art we could all look at in the end.

parent root

40 points Thebombuknow

Some of the fun was subreddits uniting together to take a slice of the board. Maybe they have a global board, and then individual boards for large subs?

I loved the original r/place, even with the bots in the final stretch. But the moment the streamers discovered the second r/place it was all cringe. I don't know other streamers, but Spanish ones didn't even know anything about r/place or Reddit, it was just "pixel war" and the only important thing was how many ~~sheeps~~ followers each one had.

I definitely don't want another r/place just to see another massive streamer taking over.

I'm a Touhou fan but I didn't participate in the Bad Apple. I just lurked in the corners, and I would participate in the other stuff my other subreddits are doing. I believed what we did was stupid are wrong. I remember that one video of the Bad Apple timelapse, next to r/canada. The Canadians can't draw their flag, but us botters making fun of them

Tohou fans where defending the Osu! circle so hard that when a popular streamer came in and used his fans to destroy it, it got rebuilt so fast you wouldn't notice any kind of vandalism for the whole event.

And because they didn't have enough with that, they even freakin did a bad apple animation by creating each and every frame so you could appreciate the result in a timelapse. And no, they did NOT use bots for that.

I think we have a generational shift already. The last r/place was the very first one I participated in, and I believe very many people joined with it being so popular. And it was one of the most exciting things ever I’ve witnessed on the Internet. So for us newcomers it was the best thing ever happening. It’s still exciting. And I disagree with making it too rare. 2, 3 or maybe 4 years to recharge is ok, but 5 or 10 years? Then I’ll only have a couple of places left in my whole life, and I don’t wanna have that.
