Now that I can comment in the website, let me rant a bit re: r/place.
Good call that r/PH didn't join this year's r/place na inorganisa at a dubious time to begin with. This year's r/place became a happy place for bots and streamers para mamburaot. Some Redditors even suspect that some Reddit admins themselves created those bots para mamburaot.
Yung pinaka-suss talaga was the fact na we're having it again this early when it's supposed to occur like once every four years.
Tapos hindi mo ma-gets duality ng ibang redditors. Galit na galit sa pinoy pride at "peenoise" pero akala mo laking kawalan hindi makapaglagay ng flag sa isang transparent na pautot. Hindi pa marunong magbasa ng pinned thread na may pinned comment. Uulanin sub ng mga tanong na kung ano balak at wala man lang daw ba nationalism (my Relay is still working so I get notifs from reports).
Yang mga makukulit na yan, sila rin yung hindi marunong magbasa ng coordinates. Kasura yung last year, andaming **** na patong nang patong sa assigned pixel ko 🙄
I saw a github repo for a bot used in last year's r/place with a long list of forks. It's likely re-used this year as well. They couldn't even address the spam bots so it's unlikely they could put more effort for a short event.
Totoong ang sus ng panahon ng place ngayong taon. Circuses part ng bread and circuses + engagement number boosting vibes para sa IPO and PR.
Used to actively participate in the previous places but I cannot in good conscience support this year's place.
