I dont feel the authentic hype that the the previous r/place had, all feels super forced and unnatural, like its scripted
Definitely. So forced that even every other lemmy user is advertising it here
Sorry to be grandpa reddit but the last one felt forced too
Reddit is forced and dead.
That’s because it is
Even the second running of it was just kinda a sad attempt at bringing back what made the first one great, completely missing the point that what made the first one great was that it was new and nobody had time to organize
Of course it does. They’ve been increasingly controlling with how the whole site is run. The whole thing is a gimmick to pump engagement metrics anyway.
Reddit sells ad space, that’s it. That’s the business. And at this point it isn’t oriented towards a community at all, it’s been made into another nickel and dime outfit.
i think pretty much of the thing you see in this r/place are just bots drawing stuff they have been ordered to draw.
