r/place 2023 Data

timestamp: the UTC time for the pixel-placement
user: obfuscated identifier for the user taking this action. These are consistent within the dataset, so you can see how users behaved across the canvas and timeline. But they are not Reddit user IDs (and don’t match the IDs from last year’s data[9]).
coordinate: the location of this placement. This year we have negative coordinates, so that “0,0” is the approximate center of the canvas.
pixel_color: the hex color code for the pixel

You will also find coordinates that don’t match a simple “x,y” pattern. In the case of 4 simple coordinates (“x1,y1,x2,y2”), these correspond to the upper left x1, y1 coordinate and the lower right x2, y2 coordinate of a moderation rectangle. We also have values that look like “{X: 424, Y: 336, R: 3}”, which specify a moderation circle with a center at the “X” and “Y” values and a radius of the “R” value.

We have split the data into 53 gzipped CSV files: https://placedata.reddit.com/data/canvas-history/2023/2023%5C_place%5C_canvas%5C_history-000000000000.csv.gzip[10][11] through https://placedata.reddit.com/data/canvas-history/2023/2023%5C_place%5C_canvas%5C_history-000000000052.csv.gzip[12][13].

Since the data has dropped. We are now able to see

- Who has the longest surviving pixel

- Who placed the 1st/last pixel

- What was the most changed pixel ever

- Who placed the most pixels

- Who placed the most [color] pixels

Where's that site from 2022 where you can look up every single pixel you placed over the course of the event?

Edit: Found it. It is now updated for 2023! Link, now updated for 2023!

Edit 2: Holy shit I placed 501 pixels, I did the math, that's 2,004mins of waiting at 4mins a pixel which is equal to ~33.4h of just browsing and waiting for the pixel timer LMAO

For what it's worth, I think the admins who work behind the scenes to make r/place possible deserve a shout-out. Most users would agree that the leadership (u/spez in particular) who made the decisions regarding the removal of third-party apps, the blatant lying and refusal to work with those app developers, the removal of reddit coins and awards that users paid good money for and the decision to have r/place now of all times simply to bump up user interaction for investors can all fuck right off. But I believe that the minions who simply work for Reddit and have no say in the direction of the company always do an incredible job with r/place each year and it's been entertaining even if recent events soured this one somewhat. I hope that Reddit continues to do r/place in the future, it's always had a special place in my heart since 2017.

Figure out the streamer/bot situation before you try this again. Ruins the fun.

Honestly this year was pretty impressive. The bad apple project, the countless works of amazing art, the stories told (butterfly dog and red demon man), and everyone working together to say FUCK SPEZ were the highlights of this year. Hopefully next year bots are prevented, but this year was great honestly :)

Could you provide some way for a user to get the own identifier?

Hello u/arbeitrary, can you make it possible for us to be able to see the coordinates of the pixel we currently look at (as in "selected pixel") on the currently displayed canvas of this years r/place event?

That way we could compare with https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/15bjm5o/comment/jtsz4kn/?utm%5C_source=reddit&utm%5C_medium=web2x&context=3[1][2] for example and see wich were the actual pixels wich were replaced the most (in this example)

1: https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/15bjm5o/comment/jtsz4kn/?utm%5C_source=reddit&utm%5C_medium=web2x&context=3

2: https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/15bjm5o/comment/jtsz4kn/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Would be very nice.

How can you say this is final canvas, when we had a 100 more minutes to place colored pixels?
