I think thats from when someone botted it to expand it.
It's not. Because that same person ran bots multiple times, so unless they were a new set of bots every time they would have placed more than one pixel
I think my Girlfriend was one who just placed one pixel. I talked a lot about r/place at the beginning and then she joined and looked at it and never came back.
Kind of a shame that individuals can't really have space to do anything, but I suppose that's inevitable. I placed two or three but I got bored because unless you were joining in with something already there, it was impossible to create anything new
Update: As I've read from a few comments, there is some confusion about the black pixels. In the image above, I chose the color black as the background, as it makes the brighter colors more obvious than a white background. However, I did not think about the black pixels that were placed by users and are now indistinguishable from the background. Although the same problem would occur on a white background, the obvious choice should have been an image with a transparent background.
Since I cannot edit this post, I uploaded a version with a white and transparent background here: https://imgur.com/a/v4fptos
Out of the 8.589.676 (non-admin) users that were a part of the event, 2.288.363 placed only a single pixel.
I wonder if someone could make a version with only pixels placed by non-bots/non-throwaway accounts. So not accounts made during the event or accounts that have 0 posts or comments ever
I think the data is depersonalized. You can't connect the user in the dataset to a real account unless you stalked their pixel placements during the actual event.
I want to see the number for people who placed an ungodly amount of pixels. That would show you where the bots truly were (plus a few people who just need to get out more)
There should be a minimum account age to stifle bot usage. So many artificially inflated account numbers just like Twitter was accused of by Elon musk.
I could be in there. Came to r/place to check how my country's flag was holding up (because we get griefed a lot), probably placed a pixel (or maybe none at all because IIRC, it was doing okay), and didn't bother any further.
If you look closely, the rainbow FCK AFD and the portrait of Anne Frank was spam botted heavily. There have been calls to especially sabotage/bot those artworks on the German/NL flags in quite a few right wing circles.
The German community had an extension that autoclicked pixels to protect artwork. And most of those auto-placed pixels were used to repair damage done by right wing botters.
Is botting lame? Sure. But imho justified in this case.
Not necessarily. Also fans of big streamers who just place one pixel to help him and then get bored. I think that primarily happened with the French and the Turks. Morocco was definitely bots though
What do you reckon it was? It’s like a consistent rainbow pattern, looks similar to what they did to the guillotine. Doesn’t really look like anything in soecific
one thing to think about is that the center isnt very reliable to tell who botted because they might have just put a pixel at the start of the event for hype
.
I never even noticed it and tbh I still don't see it lol
Go to the left from the turkey flag till the first canvas expansion then a bit upwards
Oh yeah I see it now. The boobs are the only defined part ofc.
If you want to see it on the canvas, you have to go back in the canvas history. 56:26 is the beginning until France came back in at around 73:00.
Really? Can you do that on mobile? Because I saw someone else say the same thing but haven't been able to figure out how to do that.
No clue, I use a desktop PC. There you can just go and see the canvas history with a timeline slider at the bottom.
and id do it again too
Looks like a terraria screenshot
Gives me flashbacks of my bombed world
I like this,
Fr
That is interesting.
[removed]
Fuck u/spez
cringe
Ur mom cringe👿
Even more interesting on mobile if you tap the screen it animates for some reason
what animates???
Omg what am I actually looking at, this is trippy
The canvas looks good, I wonder how Vietnam loo... oh god
lol looks like someone started to draw the band kiss there first xD
Oh hell yeah. :D
That’s literally what I thought it was didn’t realize it was Vietnam until now lol
Canada's leaf is surprisingly well done, considering how things were generally going for them.
the best clarity to population ratio :)
I think thats from when someone botted it to expand it.
It's not. Because that same person ran bots multiple times, so unless they were a new set of bots every time they would have placed more than one pixel
There's a 2nd leaf in this image! You probably saw the 1st leaf between a US flag and the pink osu circle. The 2nd and more blurry leaf is on the right between Technoblade and Rubius. It was part of a 2nd flag near (700, -100) at 39:58.
Service Announcement: You wont see obvious bots like Morocco or Shotbow because their bots placed multiple pixels throughout place.
Is that why the German flag is so much darker than the others in the middle like France, turkey, and the US?
Yes, idk why you’re being downvoted
Because Germans get butthurt easily
There you see, how loyal the Germans are. There barely was one man, who just placed one pixel for the German Flag
I think my Girlfriend was one who just placed one pixel. I talked a lot about r/place at the beginning and then she joined and looked at it and never came back.
never came back to you or r/place
Yes
Isn’t it more likely that that consistent consistency was a result of autoclickers?
Turkish flag looks good
Maps like this are the reason why I still browse this sub.
This looks like our galexy
Maybe our universe is gods r/place
Woah, I can't go to sleep anymore. I need answers!
Then things start turning white all around us.
Napacağız biz içimizdeki bu bayrak sevgisini be.
All I can make out is 2 india flags and turkey flag
P
Proud to say I played my part
there's 2 P logos lol, what is that from?
I like this, I only did one pixel and I didn’t know what to do so I just helped with my Country’s Canadian flag
I just placed a random pixel to see how it worked before forgetting about it.
Kind of a shame that individuals can't really have space to do anything, but I suppose that's inevitable. I placed two or three but I got bored because unless you were joining in with something already there, it was impossible to create anything new
I miss a zillion bots like the face that appeared at (0,0) with hex names.
As far as I can tell from the data, most bot accounts placed 3 to 7 pixels.
Update: As I've read from a few comments, there is some confusion about the black pixels. In the image above, I chose the color black as the background, as it makes the brighter colors more obvious than a white background.

Again, I am sorry if this caused any confusion.

Here you go first comment, shit stain
What's with the huge white rectangle in the top left?
Looks like the artwork drawn of the Chilean mountains that appeared in suspiciously bot like synchronicity
It was a bot attack, here is how Chile looked exactly at 107:09
Good shout I didn’t see that. I wish we could play and pause or even jump frames to see changes over an hour or so
nah, it was a bot attack
The Maple Leaf here actually looks better than the actual one.
I want to see the number for people who placed an ungodly amount of pixels. That would show you where the bots truly were (plus a few people who just need to get out more)
It’s the flags. Almost all the flags.
And those Vietnam faces on the flag made wholly that way, for some reason.
There should be a minimum account age to stifle bot usage. So many artificially inflated account numbers just like Twitter was accused of by Elon musk.
Boner Kebab got my pixel
I could be in there. Came to r/place to check how my country's flag was holding up (because we get griefed a lot), probably placed a pixel (or maybe none at all because IIRC, it was doing okay), and didn't bother any further.
Looked Turkish Flag
This is really cool because it filters out all the bots and sweat lords. Shows what the casual users priorities were.
Except the bot attack top left
So germany wasn't botted?
They're literally one of the largest communities in Place.
If you look closely, the rainbow FCK AFD and the portrait of Anne Frank was spam botted heavily. There have been calls to especially sabotage/bot those artworks on the German/NL flags in quite a few right wing circles.

Is botting lame? Sure. But imho justified in this case.
it was an auto clicker that users connected to, kinda botted but not in the spam creation of account way
Kinda bot but no so bot. Their sub has a pinned post with an extension that autoclicks for the user. Still better than bots though
Germans being germans :D
Hey that's me
I placed only one pixel.
Repaired a "Fuck Spez" on the german flag. Then remembered to Fuck Spez by ignoring place2023.
This looks like Blender rendering a picture with Cycles
Wow. Im impressed by how many people coordinated to make Kiss happend on it by placing a single pixel! Mindblowing Bot denial
Aka bots
Not necessarily. Also fans of big streamers who just place one pixel to help him and then get bored. I think that primarily happened with the French and the Turks. Morocco was definitely bots though
definitely bots
Ik
Why are yall downvoting him
I placed only one pixel on my country's flag then i completely forgot about canvass existence.
Top left is that admin ?
I doubt admins attacked the chilean flag that was there.
What do you reckon it was? It’s like a consistent rainbow pattern, looks similar to what they did to the guillotine. Doesn’t really look like anything in soecific
A single botter, who exactly no idea
... then realizing it was shit, and utterly pointless because of the bots.
It me
Yes ladies and gentlemen, what you see are bots
Am I the only one who is going to comment on the fact that the communist flag is complete?
are... are you talking about the flag of turkey?
That strip on the top left were bots and I was tryna fight them back so hard! Luckily the bots didn’t win 😌
I see myself
How do you figure this out?
one thing to think about is that the center isnt very reliable to tell who botted because they might have just put a pixel at the start of the event for hype
So a lot of the bots were re-used. Reddit really was slacking on getting rid of them
Jokes on you, I didn't place a single one because I still haven't verifed my email address (which was a requirement, yes)
I was one of those ppl
Im in there somewhere
Damn, missed out. I placed 2
im in there somewhere
Hey, that’s me
That's me, cuz after that one pixel, I can't seem to place anymore.
All these maps and yet the void always wins
I'm in here! Somewhere...
Is there a map of the top 10 most frequent posters and how often they posted?
I'm in there somewhere lol
i was one of them 🥲 i just forgot to come back to reddit in the time before it ended
I want a “One and Done” badge for only placing one pixel
That was me ! I’m on the board
I'm in there somewhere...
I see mine 🥹🥹 yay
There is some sort of entity in the bottom left hand corner and it's freaking me the fuck out
Hey! I see mine!
I'm one of them, placed a dark color.
How do they decide whose to show? There had to be pixels that were placed in the same spot by multiple people.
The image shows the last pixel that was placed on a specific location.
usersbotsI love how much the french flag glows, especially in the starter square.
And i was told it was just "pure manpower"
De-noise
Is it over already? Man this year I wasn't feeling Place at all
I’m in there somewhere
How does one even track that?
OOO there's mine!
Hello I placed one just because I wanted the participation badge like the other ones I have. :/ I was disappointed.
Edit: Got my badge, thank you.
I dropped one pixel this year and it was in that Union Jack
What’s funny is that my first pixel was a mistake because the app is clunky and shitty lol
That’s me!
why does this look like the void took over the entire r/Place canvas
people sabotaging the canvas with black
I was one who only placed one pixel in vietnam
Terraria gameplay is so good! The gameplay in question :
So we. See all the bots here
[removed by Reddit]
Pretty shure im one of them
im popular lets go
Beep boop beep
I just wanted 1, 1 pixel.
Damm
