View submission: I'll miss you /r/place
Yeah it does. With a video you can be doing a cold load from a server far away, where place has multiple layers of caching in front of the full board. Pixel placements are published through websockets and replayed locally, which is still insane scale considering the amount of connections maintained and packets sent, but still not even close to the amount of data sent as a video.

I'm thinking more along the lines of how many requests are made, with a video there's only one request, but with a lot more data being sent. With the canvas there are a lot more requests but little data.
