EDIT: apparently "Hurensohn" is German for "son of a bitch"

Hurensohn is way more aggressive than son of a bitch. It's son of a prostitute

Just wait for people to post screenshots. No need for all of us to monitor the thing.

Traffic means nothing.

I disagree. They have a reason for running it again, and the most obvious reason is to offset the traffic loss for July. Most advertisers aren't going to be aware that /r/place is a limited-time event. What they're going to see is what reddit will tell them: hey, we did these API changes, and yeah it cost us some traffic at the time, but traffic overall had recovered by the following month - hell, we even had a increase in traffic in July!

They know they've breached trust with their userbase, and they're trying desperately to avoid doing that with the advertisers as well.

Traffic means they can present it as a positive thing to future investors. Yes it’s smoke and mirrors and it won’t hold long. It just has to hold until the IPO then they will run away with the bank and leave it all to burn down.

Why do you say traffic doesn’t matter? Isn’t that the most likely reason they brought r/place back?

The whole reason they're running an out of season /r/place event is to drive traffic.

I'm honestly surprised there isn't a live stream of it. Bummer.

I can't beleve they wold post a live stream bullying that Spez fellow. I reported it. We can't allow that kind of unwholesome content on YouTube. Perhaps YouTube will take down such an offensive channel.

Also, fuck Spez.

What does their slogan “Right Place Wrong Time” means? I’m very confused.

Maybe the Reddit Admins are being tongue in cheek and referring to the dumpster fire of API changes?

Like "oops we're sorry, but come back to Reddit to show that we are still viable for our wealthy investors"

Although you’re probably right, my first thought was how place was an April Fools event The place being r/place, the wrong time being July 20

I believe that's their "offline" banner. It's just showing up as a mistake.

Somehow couldn't find that. Thanks! Kinda funny looking at all that through the official Reddit YouTube channel. Wonder if they'll get banned at some point.

What does it do? Reuse the session Id from your browser session?

Is there a way to watch r/place without using reddit application? | Spyke
