Can someone explain to me that is happening?

I am not following this year’s place, but last year, in the end, they removed all colours but white and so everyone was placing white. I assume this is what’s happening here. And it so happened to coincide with the appearance of the huge fuck spez message

Edit: Just opened Reddit and checked place, it’s as I said. Only white colour left.

I don’t know whether I’d call that intentional. Mods Admins still retain and already utilized the power to wipe whatever they wish. They left the other renditions before this more or less alone (to my knowledge), to be overwritten by users during the natural course of things.

If he were that concerned about what was being written, I doubt he would wait to be certain the very last image of the finished r/place was a giant fuck-you billboard. He’d either wipe every fuck or try to end it after this one is gone so he can pretend it ended on a good note.

I think you mean admins.

They removed all colors but white from the selection, so the massive number of bots would try to update something, but only paint white instead, doing the wipe for them.

@rImITywR Oh is that what happened? I thought it was a complete reset. Making it so only white tiles can be placed makes it even worse imo.

This is how /r/place always ends. Reddit takes a snapshot of the final canvas, then switches everyone over to placing only white tiles.
