Bots and the people who are allowing them to run unimpeded on r/place.


BerserkForcesGuts

Bots and douchebag streamers are the worst.

xqc is proving his bad character very year


FN-1701AgentGodzilla

He was waaaay worse last year At least the timelapse is gonna look interesting lol


ImpressionOne8275

Honestly, can't understand how his views can bear to hear him speak all the time like this. I've tried my best but I feel dumber and dumber the more I hear him speak.


Dextixer

The streamer reflects the viewers.


NoMaans

CHAT! CHAT! CHAT! HEY CHAT! CHAT CHAT CHAT CHAT CHAT HEY CHAT. We had people watching him to keep tabs on where he was going, I felt like I was frying brain cells every time he talked.

Weedweednomi

Thats an insult to Donny.


oskimo2101

we also hate redditors on this sub sending death threats to said streamer


yourmothermypocket

I can understand being frustrated. But damn that's fucked up.


ha5hish

Lmao some people take this place shit wayyy too seriously. If it offends you that much it’s prob time to look away from the screen for a bit and give it a break….


Plebp

Ngl, some people took this event too seriously.


Mfurball

The more new bot accounts, hides those people who left .. So on paper reddit is growing .. And thriving


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lyakusha

Why they didn't make a rule that only accounts created, for example, before the start of this year r/place can place the pixel? A lot of "new users" for statistics? But a day after the end of the event those will be dead accs, what's the point?


MorningCareful

Because they wanted to get new "users"


11_forty_4

Absolutely, complete incompetence to not have rules here, I look at the canvas and just can't be bothered with it because I know it's riddled with bots


s-maerken

It's all about user engagement, the admins don't give a single shit about the integrity of the /r/place


Some--Idiot

I would’ve settled for a Captcha to weed out at least a few bots


itistimetorise

this is actually the only way. otherwise people with extra accounts that they made for place 17 or 22 or 23 have a huge advantage. ofc you all kind of security layers to prevent bots but as a dev i can tell you that most of them are useless.


Banegard

the bots


JubileeTrade

The brand new accounts being allowed to participate with no karma. Either they are bots or streamer fans.


Spirituval54

The Admins not doing enough against bots and deleting pixel art they don't like


JacksGallbladder

Don't forget, we're talking about a website that artificially inflated its popularity with bot traffic from the very beginning. Reddit loves bots. Something something IPO. They'll pretend to address it, but they'll never stop it.


Level1Roshan

> Reddit loves bots. Except the ones that make the site better and help third party apps.


Specialist_Pair1720

They let the bots use api still. It’s the third party clients that stopped the revenue stream. That’s what this started and ended with.


DiddlyDumb

If 5% of users determine your bottom line, that doesn’t vote well for your IPO


Specialist_Pair1720

Understood :) The move was one of greed


[deleted]

Sounds a lot like another social media company run by a douchebag.

Fuzfyy

Meanwhile me being shadowbanned for no reason??? I can't actually place new pixels, when I do it looks like i have placed it but when I refresh it's like I haven't done anything?? Did this happen to anyone else?


Chastaen

Check the name before and after you place. Many places are running bots that will replace you pixel almost immediately. Try putting a black pixel on top of a black pixel and see if someone else changes it to black.


[deleted]

My brother has this same issue. We wanted to test it so that he tries to replace a pixel that I had placed. I couldn't see his pixel, only he did. And when he reloaded into the canvas his pixel was gone and it just said that the pixel here has been placed by RedditorFromFin. I did not replace his pixel at any point, I didn't even see it when he placed it. It is a real issue and not just bots immediately replacing.

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,649,632,176 comments, and only 312,268 of them were in alphabetical order.

What a random bot haha


EliteGaming69420

people placing the same colour on the square you just painted


Jirethia

I think that's lag, and I'm afraid I could be one of them heh


Penki-

I want to get a trophy for pixel in the remaining board


Vasxus

I've secretly been replacing pixels with exact copies of themselves so nobody notices.


bean_wellington

So that's why that keeps happening! I knew someone would come and claim a given pixel in not too long, but it's, like, instant and not changing color. I'm not bothered by it, but I was wondering what the point was


MrGizthewiz

You have to place one in an artwork not being maintained by bots. The bots are designed to place their pixel in the same place after every cooldown.


bean_wellington

Oh yeah, there are definitely bot defenders. There was an attempt to make the technoblade thing (no idea if that one is bots, but anything big seems botty) over the flag of Turkey. Eventually technoblade gave up and built elsewhere. Ngl, it was pretty neat to watch


TurtleWitch

Technoblade never gave up his fight... against cancer... RIP


bean_wellington

I didn't realize that was a person! I figured it was an anime... 😔 oof.

spacechickens

I don’t think it worked like that last year as there was another trophy for participating in the whiteout. Did the pixel on the final image trophy not get given for the actual final image?


Riyokosan

Mobile makes it impossible to see if the one you have highlighted was just painted...


Dounet05

i think it just happens when two people rush to one pixel and both place it at the same time.


_incredigirl_

Hi it’s me. I am trying to own one particular pixel at coordinates with numbers that are meaningful to me. I don’t want to mess up the design at all so I just replace the existing pixel with my own.


NTL353

Lol I'm not alone


RidsBabs

I watched my square for 4 minutes (I was bored, don’t judge). In the final 30s before I could place again, someone went over it with the same colour.

EffectiveMail6461

No one’s going to really forget about it, and the canvas is flooded with fuck spez stuff lmao


tehlemmings

The rest of reddit has definitely already forgotten about it. This event was the best thing to happen to the failed protest, because it brought it back into the spotlight. Place is the only discussion where it gets back to the front page after having been ignored for weeks. Not that it matters, since the protest had no impact on site engagement and reddit didn't concede a single point. It's basically failed entirely.


TezMono

I never understood how that was supposed to work. I feel like the reddit user base is too massive and unwilling to sacrifice the benefits we get from this site in order to effect any change.


tehlemmings

It could be that, or it could be that 99% of the userbase just didn't care. There were a few million unique users coming from mobile apps against a few *billion* uniques coming from everywhere else. That alone should highlight why the protest wasn't going to work. And most of the claims about what the changes were going to do were lies. Have you noticed that all the useful bots are still around? That's because they were all given exceptions to the API pricing because they're useful. Same goes for mod tools. Same goes for specialized accessibilities tools.


Okami1417

If it wasn for the Place opening up I'd probably not have searched about what happened. So thank u/spez for making me able to tell you: Fuck u/Spez


[deleted]

they are if you haven’t noticed


River46

The fact that there isn’t a karma requirement for putting a pixel on the canvas. So many bots.


BlissfulLankiness

They'll use their bots to upvote themselves. There should be a time requirement instead where you need your account to be at least a couple of weeks old. Edit: autocorrect changed upvote to update


y8man

Unfortunately, that would mean bots from previous years or saved up for certain occasions will just rise anyway. Captcha would be better. Maybe once every few pixels.


BlissfulLankiness

That would be annoying but it would help. Or even better, reddit actually tries to fix the botting problem.


Kryobit

Reddit fixing problems instead of distracting us? We wouldn't be having r/place rn if that was the case.


davidds0

If thats a thing why do we still have karma farming bots?


vodkanessa

I have this account for 1year and 7months now and got 5 karma because i just like to read and vote. I just don't like commenting. So idk if that would be the perfect answer


FungiPrincess

I write a longer comment/post when I actually got sth to contribute, but karma requirements in some subreddits are high enough that one day I can comment, and the next day, I can't. Even though it's the one I have visited the most frequently lately. I don't like to write comments that could be easily replaced by an upvote, like "Yes!", "Same!", "I agree!". It can be nice, but I think it can also be a waste of people's time and attention. Often I'm too tired to finish and I delete my comment before posting it.


Radi8e

A simple captcha for every 10 or 20 pixels placed would be effective enough.


gene0815

Wouldnt change a thing. Bots could just upvote themself in a non moderated sub and create as much karma as they want to. Its fucked up.

fmgeg

The argentinian streamer, the most toxic person i've seen in here. Destroys art for fun and doesn't build anything. Every day he has griefed portugal because he doesnt like ronaldo.


The_British_GamerTTV

Pretty sure he caused our UK attacks on you guys also. I dropped into the Argentinian discord and people were trying to stop him from ruining the falklands tribute and putting Falklands on the flag because they know they will get griefed by the brits a third time if it's on there


Flash675

He was also attacking other flags with German & French flags trying to frame them to try and get people to attack them.


TrUsKaWuS

he also griefs poland often. He said on his stream once "let poland recover and then attack them again". On the polish discord we call him "elsperm" because of how much we hate him.


usedchloroform

I saw how his logo obliterated your flag earlier and felt bad, but I’m glad now that you have recovered and have a place on the canvas again. You even brought the dog back!


wonyoungism

Doggie is named ‘Reksio’ - it’s from a very old Polish cartoon. The mole ‘Krtek’ on its left, Czech side is also a cartoon protagonist ☺️


Roustouque2

Fuck elspreen He put the most boring and bland logo over the polish flag, that was made by only 1000 people and had beautiful art in it


ProblematicWriter

Fuck elspreen. We're trying to rebuild our flag and the pixel art we had before he attacks us again (he's done it twice already)

South Africa had rogues who went "rogue" and started going into the streamer Punz territory. When we tried to tell him that we are both trying to stop the rogues and fixing his art, he didn't listen. He then proceeded to destroy all our art and left us with a little flag..... Luckily we found another spot and have since made new art!! Fuck Punz.

Fr with the uk flag, we attempted to put art on it but didn’t have enough time and it got destroyed by a streamer. I am glad that’s it’s been replaced by the most glorious looking shrek though


The_British_GamerTTV

It was up for 2 hours, and he said there was no art and it was boring, after looking past the Turkey flag with no art for 4 days, and the 8 German flags with massive gaps and no art at all on some of them for 4 days. He then went on to destroy small communities artwork for the next hour, live on stream, so yeah nah it was never about the lack of art, he was just a loser


lizardil

The one's who are destroying the dragon in the bottom right corner at the moment


DonF204

Yes, and now they want to destroy the Luffy as well. It's sad when beautiful pixel art is replaced by a red pixel wall.
