It was cool the first time.
Now it just feels desperate
The first r/place in 2017 was genuinely special. It was totally unique, and it was a really cool social experiment to see how people could collaborate. By the time the second one came out it was obvious the bots were out in full force. None of my individual contributions lasted long. I have zero interest in doing it again.
