Does tumblr know that they're literally fucking making Bad Apple in r/place

[lithominium]

so, reddit, due to its amazing updates as of late, needs positive pr. so. they brought back r/place. Which used to be a super cool, every couple years event. If you don't know what place is, id just look up a youtube video on it cause it was cool.

anyways the people of reddit have spoken

fuck spez indeed i agree

i love that r/place is back SPECIFICALLY because of how the reddit userbase has used this opportunity to make it Very, Very Clear how unhappy they are with the direction its gone

[mindofthemage]

Reddit decided that reopening r/place would be a good decision in the middle of the Reddit community hating the CEO

Spez is reddit's ceo

Germany is calling Spez a son of a bitch

Explanation:

r/place is a reddit event with a large canvas where each user can place one pixel every 5 minutes. The point is that communities come together and create artwork collaboratively.

When the event ends, instead of erasing the canvas all at once, users are allowed to place only white pixels so they gradually erase their own creations.

This year, the users decided to use these final minutes to write "Fuck Spez" in giant print across the entire canvas, using only the white pixels.

I've seen this image posted here but I haven't seen anyone explain it yet, so here I am.

Reddit has put up r/place again (a community collaborative project where you can place a pixel every 5 minutes) despite this usually happening during the week of April Fool's. The top comments on the post announcing it's opening are all calling it out for being an obvious ploy to increase engagement due to all the site's recent bad press and the actual canvas has "fuck spez" (the ceo) written all over it lol

Ok so r/place is happening and I know some of you are from reddit and moved here so I want to share with you guys my favorite artworks they made on the canvas:

This incredible artwork made by I assume French redditors.

Touhou fans are literally animating the bad apple video on the canvas. Every few minutes the frame changes.

Technoblade memorial piece

Omori fans making a very cute art piece and guarding it well ft. Madotsuki from Yume Nikki and Susie from Deltarune.

This flag of Ukraine absolutely fucks.

Don't know what this is refrencing but this is a very cool piece!

This olympic/rugby work in progress.

And of course

Translation: u/spez is a son of a bitch.

hey remember last time we did r/place when english mcyt kept ending up in alliances with brazil for some reason? shoutout to quackity for bringing things full circle on that front

ok heres the thing i dont remember if brazil and mcyts had a strong alliance all i remember is that empires smp and portgual were so fucking close that A) in a discord group i was in they added 'portugang' emotes from Their server and B) there was either fanart or fanfic of the two making out or something.

some streamers are helping us gain territories from the turkey, so enjoy technoblade with a vauge overlay of the turkish flag

Kikuri has become german 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

[psych-is-the-name]

unsurprisingly it was immediately covered in a wall of "fuck spez"

[loud-whistling-yes]

I started learning cross stitch about the same time r/place took place, and one of the first big projects I ever wanted to work on was the art of Techno up there. I never got around to it until July.

Can you believe that it's July again? It feels like a lifetime ago.

[strawbbz]

With the help of a few people we managed to put Gustholomule on r/Place! It was very fun (and kinda excruciating) to complete :]

technoblade in r/place

the last image no longer exists; the rest are current as of the time this post is made

[mindofthemage]

Someone on Reddit was able to catch what I assume was an automatic post with a time-lapse for r/place that got deleted within minutes.

I don't think Reddits gonna be able to use r/place for promotions this time. The Instagram account only has the announcement. Nothing else. No time-lapse or pictures anywhere.

Also Admins removing the guillotine caught in 4k

I wonder why the admins didn't like that one.
