This r/place is a great visualization of the damage done to Reddit. Previous r/places have been much more interesting and vibrant. The current canvas has large portions covered with boring flags and overall there's just less going on, much less depth and variety. A great confirmation that Reddit has indeed changed, and a great visualization of how it has changed.

The fact that they're bringing this back in a month other than April is pathetic. I don't know what species is worse. You don't see them trying to fuck each other over for a goddamn percentage.

the problem is that the r/place this out of season will be known only by its meta because very few are posting for non meta reasons

Even if the designs are less fancy than before it is still very active.

Yep, which is all Spez and the other higher ups care about. Stop using reddit.

Quantity over quality for them. Very obviously so.

its bot traffic, copy+pastes, or meta commentary

its debatable if r/place is used by humans in any notable capacity.
