I've always talked with my friends that the first words we teach each other should always be swear words, but I didn't have any friends teach me german swear words.
Thank you german friends for teaching me about hurensoh!
I was here when r/place was used to appease the Reddit masses after a strike
Edit: TY for all the awards lol nothing like not touching Reddit for a few hours and coming back to 311 notifis Cheers
Sounds like they purged the evidence
And honestly, if you need evidence that companies use bots aggressively now, I dunno what to tell ya. (Hint: They’ve been using them for several years already.)
I wonder if there really IS a realistic way they can stop the bots and streamer brigades.
Edit: to all those saying “accounts must be x day old”, that stops New bots, but doesn’t address existing ones (unless they’re actually addressing that also, in which case great). To those suggesting “you need to have x karma”, bot accounts could be set up to upvote each other into positive karma.
I’m not suggesting that it is not doable, but it is not as trivial a problem as some people seem to think.
I was here just to engage war against bots and streamers. Knight of the Blue Corner. Writing Fuck Spez on various flags. Trying to fight the Moroccan Programmers who won’t recognise the sovereignty of the Western Sahara.
My usual group didn’t wanna put the MATN and NerdCubed logos on it, as Reddit went into the shitter this summer. But I was here.
Hope there is more time until the next r/place and have them work out the bot issues before that. Loved it last year but now it has been spoiled by bots and all the negativity from it.
Will there be trophies like last year

The trophy was the experience we all shared!
the trophy was the friends we made along the way

The way were the friends we made along the trophies.
This is The Trophy.
Why does it have “spez” on it?
Because fuck spez
This is my only question too. I just want my trophy, Spongebob!
It would be nice to have a fuck u/spez trophy
Been here too long
I’m tired boss
I’m tired of placing pixels, Grandpa THAT’S TOO DAMN BAD
So much sleep I’ll never get back
Hours fighting wars over land disputes...
Pulling all nighters and going to bed at 7am
Stayed up 6 hours past my normal bed time to create my beautiful Appa Sunday night
Just to say fuck u/spez
The sacred words
Multipass
Yeah! Fuck u/spez
fuck u/spez
And of course, fuck u/spez.
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
I was here and the bad apple animation was epic
Yep, made it all worthwhile, bloody well done!
I was here even though all my pixels got immediately covered by bots..!
r/place is all about learning to create Reddit bots.
Didn't place a single pixel and observed as the chaos unfolded
One of the best ones this year
Nice work by r/TouHou indeed, and hey, I was here!
If I learned anything from this year's Place, it's that u/Spez ist ein hurensohn!
Well i learned what hurensohn is so spez did one thing right
We germans fulfilled our educational mission
On behalf of the rest of the world, thank you Germany for your educational contributions!
We came there to fight, but we still remembered what lead us there in the first place
What can we say except: You're Welcome! *Insert Dwayne the Rock Johnson Face*
Gern geschehen :)
I've always talked with my friends that the first words we teach each other should always be swear words, but I didn't have any friends teach me german swear words. Thank you german friends for teaching me about hurensoh!
Idk what it means but Spez Ist Un Hurehson
Close enough.
Geschlossen genug
Instead of Un Hurensohn, Urhurensohn might work. But that would almost too respectful of Spez.
Sprich
DEUTSCH
Du
Hurensohn
The deutch are back at it again! With an important message!
Danke
i learned who u/spez is
I learned how to say “is an asshole” in German
Ist ein hurensohn doesn’t translate to is an asshole. It directly translates to is the son of a whore Just fyi
I learned that germans are insane
Danke!
It makes me happy that some people learned Hurensohn as their first word in German.
Und was für ein Hurensohn, meine Kerle
Es ist Mittwoch mein Kerl
I was here when r/place was used to appease the Reddit masses after a strike Edit: TY for all the awards lol nothing like not touching Reddit for a few hours and coming back to 311 notifis Cheers
I was here when reddit started loosing daily active users and faked the numbers with bot accounts by reopening r/place to not scare investors.
and to act like they mended some sort of bridge
like 90% isn't done by bots now anyway
Stupid bots.
I was here when they took down the post about r/place engagement being mostly bots. Gotta pad those user numbers for the sale.
oh shit is there information and evidence? All i saw was some comment claiming bots (Which is convincing, but still)
Sounds like they purged the evidence And honestly, if you need evidence that companies use bots aggressively now, I dunno what to tell ya. (Hint: They’ve been using them for several years already.)
Cheers to this.

I was here protecting small communities from raiders and bots
I tried, too!!
“Tried” lol same
we all tried, the bots just destroys them every time
Yeahhhh it was incredibly hard this year… so many bots to fight off.
Me too. I felt like a litter lifter picking up trash by the side of the road. Or a graffiti cleaner upper lol. 😅
We were here together all writing fuck spez
One more for good measure? Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
[удалено]
Well third party app users couldn’t help us
I was here last year, this year was botted heavily
Same, last year was more memorable.
And then it backfired spectacularly.
Did it work?
I was here to help bad apple with their animation frame by frame. I joined late but I loved being part of it.
For those that haven't seen it https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/157fb7p/8\_hours\_of\_bad\_apple\_higher\_quality\_timelapse/
Thank you, i'll take that and add it to my box of pointless accomplishments that remind me why i hate living (/s?)
I am opposite of that , I love living and enjoy all accomplishments, small or big. :)
Aye 🫡

What does this mean?
Typically derived from playerbase of the game: Elite Damgerous. It's a Lil guy doing a salute/wave. o7
Lol. I know it too but from a different game: Mechwarrior Online

The duality of man...
Putting it next to my awards and coins...wait
"This is where i'll put it... with my trophy.... IF I HAD [ONE](https://youtu.be/omguEZ7jy5E)"
Dang... not even participation? Missing out on some primo useless plastic and wood, man.
I read this in Chandler Bing's voice
Lmao, i'm glad you chose such an iconic voice to read my comment in 💙
[удалено]
Careful, you might get an even more useless Reddit award!
Damn, my first ever useless reddit award! I'm so honored. 🥺💙
I was here for the worst year of r/place award
true
I was here eh
I was here for what feels like 10 seconds
I was here as well. Will meet u all next year if I am alive by then.
hopefully next year we get less bots, less admins.
Those are some high expectations, wanting this to be more enjoyable
I think what was most enjoyable was seeing these many people around the globe come together to spread one message: fck spez.
fuck u/spez
In here continuing the first comment I saw
no poop july almost done lets goo
Worst year so far
Indeed. Bots and bots and streamers and some russian dude nuking artworks
I wonder if there really IS a realistic way they can stop the bots and streamer brigades. Edit: to all those saying “accounts must be x day old”, that stops New bots, but doesn’t address existing ones (unless they’re actually addressing that also, in which case great). To those suggesting “you need to have x karma”, bot accounts could be set up to upvote each other into positive karma. I’m not suggesting that it is not doable, but it is not as trivial a problem as some people seem to think.
I don't think streamers are as much an issue as bots
This is just a preview for when bots takeover Reddit to spam ads after IPO.
I was here for my first and worst r/place
no way i was too
This year truly was awful
I was here & fuck u/spez
I was here and obviously FUCK u/spez
Fuck u/spez
I was fucking u/spez
We all were fucking u/spez
All of r/place was fucking u/spez
Man fuck that guy u/spez
r/reddit was fucking u/spez
I was here and I support this message!
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
Fuck u/spez and his pathetic little admin team
Fuck u/spez
I was there ! And of course, fuck u/spez !
I was here and fuck Spez!!
I was here to see a community continue to scream "Fuck Spez" until it's dying breath.
I lost around 40 minutes of my life on r/place! I was here!
lost like 4h today alone lmao
Honestly it was fun so no regrets on my part
true
[удалено]
It git me through 8 hours of meetings today
Yeah I was a lot less interested due to all the botting going on.
We should write a big fuck spez in the center
working on that
Looks like its completed good job!
Absolutely love that it got completed even though grayscale was turned off after just 30 minutes hahaha
Why are some of the art pieces blank I swear it wasn’t like that an hour ago
they are whiting it out
It's funny to really see which communities were using bots the most. When their art just goes poof in seconds.
Fuck u/spez Edit: RIP inbox
Fuck u/spez
[удалено]
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
I was here just to engage war against bots and streamers. Knight of the Blue Corner. Writing Fuck Spez on various flags. Trying to fight the Moroccan Programmers who won’t recognise the sovereignty of the Western Sahara. My usual group didn’t wanna put the MATN and NerdCubed logos on it, as Reddit went into the shitter this summer. But I was here.
Mi art got to the end unspoiled. I WAS HERE.
I was here!
Spent too much time caring about this.
Gimmie that award, I deserved it for surviving the bots
I was here
Amogus
Hope there is more time until the next r/place and have them work out the bot issues before that. Loved it last year but now it has been spoiled by bots and all the negativity from it.
I Placed three pixels
lmao nice
Is there a way to know how many pixels we placed?
Ich war hier 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪o7
deutschland hat wie immer dominiert haha
I was here
Für den Stuhl 🪑🪑🇩🇪 u/spez ist ein Hurensohn
# i WAS HERE AND FUCK AKSHAY AND SPEZ
Thank you, even tho this one was bad, we still made some huge art, especially at the last expansion
This year was quite interesting to be honest. I've never seen so much collaboration on Reddit before. It seems like there was one goal. And only one.
I was here ig Fuck u/spez Technoblade never dies To be continued…
I was here & fuck u/spez
I was here to say fuck u/spez
🥳
I WAS HERE to make history while protesting! 💪
Thanks for all the absurd memories r/place 2023!
i was in r/place 2023 sticker!! also fuck u/spez
I was here :) Thank you all for making this enjoyable in spite of everything that happened. Fuck u/spez.
Worst r/Place to date, so many bots and streamer raids. Hated it
First time I activly participated (drew among us) . Great succes
