    There’s something weird about “protesting” a site by continuing to use their site. Hopefully it’s just bot traffic flooding /r/place rather than real people coordinating in real time.

      Exactly. The real protest would have been to totally ignore r/place. Could you imagine a blank canvas. That would have been epic.

        Problem is, that reddit themselves would just start using bots to create simulated pixel placements so it would look like people are interacting such that people feel they must start playing as well. Much like agar.io or similar .io games that are actually not real multiplayer games untill they gain critical mass, bit still probably contains bots.
