      Meh, any engagement bump will be fleeting, and meanwhile they’re going to have another round of Reddit Sucks articles about either a) /r/place being taken over by anti-reddit people or b) Reddit censoring /r/place.

    I like that they were able to coordinate enough to make “fuck spez” so visible (plus the “spez ist ein H*rensohn” = “spez is a son of a b*tch”). I just wish that they focused on the big picture - Spez himself is just a tool (in both senses) for Reddit Inc., and it’s the whole corporation that should be screwed over.

      Yes, but it’s also a symbol. And there seems to be enough of a consensus in the zeitgeist, that that message appears to be somewhat self-organizing as a common sentiment. For something chaotic like /r/place that sort of undercurrent is a boon.
