r/place lost all credibility
> Yup, I’m out. Complete bullshit, the whole thing cannot be trusted as real.

I don't remember there being this many terminally online people the last time r/place was a thing.

I don't even understand what they're trying to say. "Cannot be trusted as real"? What's "real"? Obviously it's bullshit that an admin circumvented the rules to place more pixels, but are they really implying there's a credible chance a significant portion of /r/place is "fake" or manufactured by admins?

Yo I hopped into /r/place and placed two blue tiles in the blue corner. Got this DM[1] within 2 minutes of placing the 2nd tile. Like holy shit.

The border they are talking about isn't even there any more.

I dunno if it's because I'm older or just how much the world's gone to shit but r/place seems to be much more of a shitshow this time around.

There's people calling for that dudes real life job because cheating at an online game apparently is worth that.

I keep seeing these meltdowns about the 10 seconds of mod abuse, but they ignore the fact the whole thing is now run by bots.

So there is a 99% chance your tile gets covered by a bot but the .1% chance a mod is cheating and covers you is what has pushed these guys off the toy? Lol

Jesus Christ it’s a goofy little public pixel art forum that inevitably gets covered in memes and flags, people are taking this way too seriously.

Like, I like the concept and think this should be an annual thing. But on the other hand, we don’t deserve it.

The concept is addicting. I didn’t go for it last time, but this time I got sucks by the 5 min timer and the goal of saving a place.

As someone terminally online, i just can't understand the level people are going on this. You're right, i don't remember this much before either. Every smallish sub is runover by /r/place posts
