    You go to the site and see an ad on the way. Reddit profits.

    Reddit turns around to their investors during their IPO and say “look at how many people flooded to our site to engage with r/place.” Reddit profits.

    People see the chaos and decide to add your two cents to the canvas. The cycle repeats. Reddit profits.

      Look how many people engaged only works if you manage to supress the context. Which -given the fact that r/place war already reported about each prior year- is not going to happen.

      So you are basically saying people looking for advertising are going for a platform full of fucks, insults and destructive comments/behavior struggling to moderate because they are too stupid to look at anything but numbers of how many people loggend in?
