I’m, honestly, not surprised. It’s like, what were they expect?
I have only one thing to say:
lmao
rofl, even
This warms my heart
I’m actually proud of people for this
slow clap
They expected to show a large influx of visits when they create an event. They will show user counts and to the result to their investors. It’s all calculated and we’re all falling for it.
Surely any decent investment means they research the company. That’d be stupid business decisions. Although, Investors are immoral.
Investors are immoral. And they research the company but they don’t necessarily tour the whole thing. If they research the numbers. Then they see this. Now the whole gate is towards Spez. I bet we will soon see an announcement where he steps down (with a bonus) and the investors can be reassured that it’s all good. Plus they get huge visit numbers.
I’m not falling for it. Just looking at it from lemmy and laughing lol
People that keep making this dumbass “engagement” claim have no goddamn idea what they’re talking about. Nobody is falling for jack shit. The “engagement” of people going on to place to troll is miniscule. Like you said, half of us aren’t looking at this on Reddit. It’s being broadcast everywhere else and the tech outlets that an investor will see are reading about how much the user base fucking hates the product.
I mean I do analytics on site engagement metrics professionally, like as my job that pays me money, and based on that and past instances of r/place, I can make an educated guess that:
-
They were desperate to improve July usage numbers because projections were looking shitty after the events of the past month.
-
r/place has traditionally been a good way to juice engagement numbers
-
They pulled a lever they knew would generate the results they needed
Is it temporary? Sure. But this buys them some time and August’s numbers are August’s problem.
Here’s are the stats from a previous instance of r/place:
Social platform Reddit re-introduced its collaborative social experiment r/Place on April 1, leading to the highest daily active users (DAUs) its mobile app has ever seen
So yeah, they’ll get the juice they need, probably, but the fact that they were compelled to even need to pull that lever says a lot, imo.
I mean, as an Ad Tech guy, the problem is that they’re at the stage where they need to increase revenue, not just engagement numbers. Look at Twitter: The dollars can simply flow out of an ad supported social media company and to the big boys fairly easily.
This is the issue with the tech industry as a whole right now. High interest rates mean the DAU jig is up.

Even investors pay attention to the news, and this single picture speaks louder than words.
Beautiful.
Just when I thought there was no more utility to be had from reddit
Happy to see everyone working together.
Also, Bluey.
Love the Bluey advert. Disturbed it’s beside galactic space dicks or whatever that is lol.
It’s Deep Rock Galactic, which is actually a really solid game. People just keep turning it into “Deep Cock Galactic” lmao
I’d be curious to know your experience with that game. Me and some friends have been playing it and the grind is just insane, to the point that I can’t really enjoy it because progress feels so glacial. Whenever people speak positively about it I feel like I must be missing something.
I picked Driller initially and stuck with it. Progression felt good. Once I got a promotion I tried out other classes, and slowly made them to promotion level. I think the main thing you’re missing though is that DRG isn’t really meant to be a game based around progression. Unlocking new weapons and overclocks helps, sure, but most of DRG’s progression to me is learning how to manage your resources effectively and mastering how to take down different kinds of bugs. Also, make sure you’re doing assignments! Otherwise, you’re not actually progressing beyond leveling up, and so progress will feel glacial.
Aha lol. Well, that clears that up. Guess I wasn’t seeing things when it looked like My Little Pony was My Little Penis.
That might be helpful actually. Take a screenshot and ask the blue producers if they are ok with this
I love the fact that Bluey and MLP have been worked around and not destroyed yet
Bluey too wholesome to be defaced.
Are people sexually into Bluey? Cuz I know the MLP people are depraved…
Deep Cock Galactic
Deep Cock Balls-ass-dick
BEEF COCK GALACTIC

^ please tell me if this shows up, if not, [insert dicaprio clapping gif here]
important side note: mr lemmy dev team can you add the ability to comment gifs? thx
You need to write this
deleted by creator
Shows up as a link on Jerboa.
It’s a link on memmy
It shows up.
Doesn’t show on Connect for Lemmy.
It’s a link
ah.
fuck!
I wonder if it my app that doesn’t show it.
The website doesn’t show it either. For lemmy you’d have to use the markup I posted above.
Shows up fine on Kbin
I’m more surprised they let it stay up.
I’m not sure where they got their information, but The Independent says
Reddit Place is set to continue for the next four days, allowing users to contribute to its evolving creation.
As a former 10+ year Reddit refugee - lolololooolooooool!
Earlier on the French flag they had constructed a massive guillotine that was coming down on a Snoo’s head with Spez wrote on its face.
Then you started seeing large blobs being put over it where admins/mods were trying to blot it out.
I’m pretty sure it’s not just the mods/admins.
Some kind of void creature was forming earlier and it got whited out by a bot army.
I won’t link it because it’s a reddit link. But there’s damning footage of large pixel circles of white or random colors spreading at the same instant, in a way that wouldn’t be possible by regular users. And these pixels don’t have an attached username, it’s like the canvas has been totally reset. Bots would show a new username.
I know, that is why I said
I’m pretty sure it’s not just the mods/admins.
Blotting shit out.
If anyone got a screenshot of that, please post.
I got you buddy https://imgur.com/a/Kkgz2me
Nice! Thank you!
Well that reminds me of MS Paint brush.
Notably, the blobs all appear at seemingly the exact same time. Just… plonk, a random patch of noise on the art.
I’ve participated in that thing since the beginning and was kinda sad to miss it this time until now.
Hahahahahahaha. It’s beautiful.
r/place was special enough to me that it was the only reason I stopped at deleting my content, instead of full-on deleting my account.
It just feels so hollow this year. Not sure if its all the anger, the clear repetition for corporate motives, or both.
Now just replace all the fuck Spez with Join Lemmy and its ::chefs kiss::
This.
We need and organized campaign to turn this into a giant advert for Reddit alternatives.
Reddit doesn’t care that people are writing fuck spez, they care that traffic is up.
We need to make this back fire and drive traffic away from Reddit.
