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.
Why are they bringing it back? It was always a April fools thing?
My personal theory: to offset activity losses and show shareholders that they can still drive engagement.
It’s their “use in case of emergency” tool.
It was popular so they are bringing it out as a distraction.
