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.
I was looking forward to the next version of r/place in a couple years. Now it’s just utterly pathetic pandering to attempt to bring disaffected users back to the site
I’m not gonna go back…
Neither am I, I do kinda wanna know the general consensus of this, cause r/place was cool when it was on April 1st after several years between, now it’s just over a year in between on a random Wednesday.
Someone posted a reddit link to the announcement earlier. The comments were some variation of “bring back.third party apps”, “API”, “fuck /u/spez”, “this is obvious pandering to drive traffic” or debates about how best to vandalize the canvas. And a lot of German people saying German things for some reason lol. The comments there are actually pretty similar to the comments in this thread, minus the Germans
It’s always the Germans

Does it really avoid getting them ad revenue tho? As long as you get the ads, they’re paid to reddit.
