Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time::Reddit is bringing back r/Place — a collaborative project where individual users can edit pixels on a giant canvas — at a time when user dissatisfaction with the platform is very high.
That doesn’t seem like a prudent idea.
“Hmm, a lot of people are incredibly unhappy with decisions we’ve made in relation to Reddit, we should give them a highly visible visual way to express themselves and see what happens!”
Place was always very popular, it makes sense to roll it out whenever publicity tanks.
