    Apes together still giving Reddit traffic.

    It’s like writing anti-walmart propaganda on a thousand one dollar bills and then spending them all at Walmart.

      meh. I’m not interested in participating, but for a short uptick in user activity, a bunch of tech journals will be writing about this and they’ll come up is searches about /r/place for years to come. It will be a net lose for spez.

      Tiny, insignificant amount of traffic to send a lasting messagem. Worth it.

        Looks like a shitload of people accessing it several times a day, some watching it like hawks, and an entire genre of Reddit refugees who’ve taken to advertising it on a daily basis.

          :NOWAY: Not the 400 people advertising Lemmy vs the at least 30 million Bots and the few million Reddit users.

          Look at this and tell me we are a statistic.

            This. It’s honestly hilarious people keep parroting that “that’s still engagement” BS like we’re a force to be reckoned with compared to reddit.

            It’s like getting $10 from Musk and thinking its6gonna hurt him in a significant way. Lmao.

      Personally only use Reddit read-only, with ad blocker and anti-tracking. Though I find that I don’t like read-only very much, so I’m spending less and less time on Reddit.

          honestly think it’s just the people writing fk spez arent staying on long enough to upkeep it, or just dont care about reddit enough. THOUGH im pretty sure mods were caught using their unlimited pixels last r/place
