View submission: r/place 2023 Data
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.

Agreed. I feel like I'm in the minority here, but I would love if r/place was a yearly event. This year's was the first one I really participated in and it was a really fun experience that I want to do again.

Those "minions" still have an option to withhold their labor/strike/resign and find a job at a better and more ethical company
by continuing to work there you empower Reddit to be the shitty company it is right now (I'm assuming those employees have proper ethics and/or moral compass, also this applies to the majority of the tech industry)
