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.
This isn’t the worst time, it’s the best time.
If you think like a capitalist, for their IPO it’s a catcher to show how strong and big the community is. Investors would love this.
What better way to create the image of a thriving userbase, than for your userbase to literally create the image.
Because the Reddit hive mind will most likely use it as a form of protest against spez. I also agree that it’s the best time, going to go get me my popcorn and enjoy the art
There’s a great Lenin quote about it: “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.” If your goal is profit you will do anything for it, including letting the customers publicly shame you or your company.
That said, I imagine Spez being petty enough interfere with the protest.
So anyone want to take a guess at the dimensions of the giant “fuck /u/spez” ?
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!”
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.
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.
