Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time::Reddit is bringing back r/Place — a collaborative project where individual users can edit pixels on a giant canvas — at a time when user dissatisfaction with the platform is very high.
So anyone want to take a guess at the dimensions of the giant “fuck /u/spez” ?
Its enough to make me log into Reddit again. Wait a second…
If we’re patient, we can see it play out a dozen times in YouTube videos without giving Reddit any traffic.
Edit: I am not patient.
We shall eagerly await your report. Lol
Sounds like a plan! Time to log in on my Reddit account… wait… oh… right 😏
That would require logging into Reddit. I have a feeling this is to boost clicks for a really poor months performance so they can say “look 3rd party apps being dead is fine!”
Ding ding ding
I mean, its pretty transparent attempt by spez to boost.interactions with the site, but that won’t stop people from doing exactly what spez wants them to do.
True but surely a full page spez hate graphic wouldn’t do well for them.
Lol. It wouldn’t make a dent.
Truth is the people shouting “fuck Spez” is a small minority.
Everyone knows about Reddit. Not very many are that invested to care.
Looks pretty fuck spez to me pal.
this is their cnn trump town hall. ten bucks says traffic spikes for /r/place and then drops below pre-/r/place levels.
Tbf, I don’t recall r/Place ever working on 3rd-party clients.
Admin can remove it easily like last year. They removed several things they didn’t want.
I’m hoping sentiment is shared enough for this not to be effective. We’ll see
