Is there a way to watch r/place without using reddit application?

I want to see those all "fuck u/spez" pixel arts without driving any traffic to reddit.

Just go to the desktop site, you don't have to log in. Things are going well, in case you're curious 😆:

lots of FUCKSPEZ already

EDIT: apparently "Hurensohn" is German for "son of a bitch"

If you translate it word for word its "whoreson"

Has a nice ring to it

I am contributing healthily to those lol.

Hurensohn is way more aggressive than son of a bitch. It's son of a prostitute

Oh i wish Coloring pixels used this image for their r/place pic instead

Just wait for people to post screenshots. No need for all of us to monitor the thing.

Traffic means nothing. Go to https://www.reddit.com/r/place/ and enjoy.

Also, old reddit does not work, and you need an email in your account to put pixels (good bye privacy).

Traffic means nothing.

I disagree. They have a reason for running it again, and the most obvious reason is to offset the traffic loss for July. Most advertisers aren't going to be aware that /r/place is a limited-time event. What they're going to see is what reddit will tell them: hey, we did these API changes, and yeah it cost us some traffic at the time, but traffic overall had recovered by the following month - hell, we even had a increase in traffic in July!

They know they've breached trust with their userbase, and they're trying desperately to avoid doing that with the advertisers as well.

Traffic means they can present it as a positive thing to future investors. Yes it’s smoke and mirrors and it won’t hold long. It just has to hold until the IPO then they will run away with the bank and leave it all to burn down.

Why do you say traffic doesn’t matter? Isn’t that the most likely reason they brought r/place back?

The whole reason they're running an out of season /r/place event is to drive traffic.

They just can't stop being idiots

I'm honestly surprised there isn't a live stream of it. Bummer.

I can't beleve they wold post a live stream bullying that Spez fellow. I reported it. We can't allow that kind of unwholesome content on YouTube. Perhaps YouTube will take down such an offensive channel.

Also, fuck Spez.

Somehow couldn't find that. Thanks! Kinda funny looking at all that through the official Reddit YouTube channel. Wonder if they'll get banned at some point.

Thanks for the link. How many days does this event last?

What does their slogan “Right Place Wrong Time” means? I’m very confused.

Maybe the Reddit Admins are being tongue in cheek and referring to the dumpster fire of API changes?

Like "oops we're sorry, but come back to Reddit to show that we are still viable for our wealthy investors"

Although you’re probably right, my first thought was how place was an April Fools event The place being r/place, the wrong time being July 20

I believe that's their "offline" banner. It's just showing up as a mistake.
