I dont feel the authentic hype that the the previous r/place had, all feels super forced and unnatural, like its scripted

    Of course it does. They’ve been increasingly controlling with how the whole site is run. The whole thing is a gimmick to pump engagement metrics anyway.

    Reddit sells ad space, that’s it. That’s the business. And at this point it isn’t oriented towards a community at all, it’s been made into another nickel and dime outfit.

      i think pretty much of the thing you see in this r/place are just bots drawing stuff they have been ordered to draw.

        I know at least as a Portuguese that might not be true.

        Last r/place we also made a lot of noise and we are not that many. Or biggest sub had what 3000 people max.

        We still make a lot of noise, idk how.
