The study of "r/place", how it evolves, and the pattern of admin interference is a long standing r/place tradition. The discussion AFTER r/place lasts much longer than r/place itself.
Admins getting caught astroturfing "fuck spez" IS the story. A pansy tribute will get 0 airtime. Putting admins on their heels and forcing them to interfere to whitewash the messaging is actually AWESOME for the continued dialogue around Reddit and spez' incompetence
And if they DON'T whitewash it, or can't keep up, and fuck spez' remains plastered everywhere too... That's a different BUT STILL GREAT story.
Posting fuck spez is a can-not-lose scenario for driving discussion. It's driving this one, right now, as I type this.
