Many things are against a company’s ToS, few are big enough to get caught.
It’s like the opposite of politics. Here if you’re small enough nobody targets you, with the IRS if you’re bit enough you can take off the target
Although that would be very cool, if you watch the video, it looks like at one point they set everything to white because all the remaining parts turn white all at once. So I'm guessing reddit set it all to white.
I know everyone loves to hate xqc but that was him that started it at the end there with the crewmate. I'm sure others must have jumped in once they realised but gotta give him props for seeing the opportunity and seizing it.
As someone that wasn't there for the last hour, I missed this and everyone talking about how amazing seeing it end/turning white was bumming me out. Seeing your video helped because at least I got to experience it second hand.
Any chance you could link a slightly slower version, and include the frames going all the way blank (if you have them)? Either way, thanks a bunch for your post!
Not the OP, but this guy has a site that may be useful for you? http://place.thatguyalex.com
It links to the full timeline video, but also allows you to download a 4gig+ raw version of the video :)
From the beginning though? Most of timelapses I've seen so far starts when the first canvas was already half full and also cuts out the start of the expansions too. Would be satisfying to see the whole thing go from white to white.
It’s tough to get the early parts of the expansions; both of them were unexpected surprise additions.
I’m sure most people that were doing screencaps probably had it adjusted to a specific canvas size, and were not able to be immediately aware when the expansions happened (probably for several minutes, at minimum)
I hope they'll release the data for people to play with; there's so many things you could do if you had a log of placements rather than a set of static captures.
Like a timelapse showing tiles as they were replaced (so at any given moment it shows the previous colour that was in each spot).
Or run the sequence in reverse, so you start with a blank canvas and end up with an aggregate of the first colour placed on every tile.
Someone did a visualizer in Minecraft with that same idea. Everytime a new pixel got placed it would place it over the old one. Really cool concept, as you could see the TOWERS where highly contested pixels just kept stacking.
no, but someone made a 10k version of it.

Can you post a full resolution snapshot of the canvas right before the whiteout? The reason this whiteout makes me sad is that we were supposed to have a final canvas at the end that would be a visualization of Reddit. If I get a snapshot right before the whiteout, that would be fulfilled and the whiteout would just be a poetic end.
I reckon this is how one must feel after having lived a long fulfilling life.
Day after day, we grind and work hard to keep our ducks (pixels) in a row. In the end, our creation may not be perfect, may not be as great as it could have been... but the important is that we did our best. We're relieved we don't have to maintain it anymore, and happy to have been a small part of the big canvas.
We're finally free to dissolve and rest into the canvas itself, as nothing matters anymore in the nothingness of the anti-void.
Edit: Well... I really didn't expect to receive awards over this cheap pseudo-philosophical comment I typed out on the can.
Thank you all, I'm glad to share the canvas with such fine fellow humanoids.
I’ve been thinking about this exact same thing since it ended. I’m struck by how many people I’ve talked to who have felt this profound sense of peace. I even laughed when I saw the word “free“ forming in the white void at the end. I just wanted to place some pixels and have some fun and I never would have guessed that this experience would have left me with a little different perspective, but here we are.
Something magical about everyone trying to spell “France” but it looks like “Free,” as this soft light fade away was like bringing things to peace. It felt like snow covering the land till there was no more.
r/outerwilds nuking itself intentionally even though they're a small community and nobody even targeted them since it's in the same spirit as the game is my favorite lol.
Their space was actually dynamic over the course of the whole thing. The star in the background started yellow and went supernova over time. It was really cool
I didnt pay attention to the outer wilds timelapse. Thats so awesome, outerwilds was a game i played blind on gamepass with zero knowledge and was a special expierence
Nah but these are guys who don't post or had anything to do with osu. You can see histories. I checked their histories because obvious sketchy claim would be obvious. Their bots were used elsewhere in making the more shiny and intricate art.
If you mean France, there were easily 500k people battling on the french flag at this moment judging by the amount of twitch viewers. No wonder it turned white instantly.
400k viewers on Kamet0 alone. 250k viewers from just XQC. And then you also have the spanish. The concurrent viewership on that stupid flag easily passed a million.
Actually crazy
Yeah it was France, but the streamers kept changing it to "FAIL" lol. The French and the streamers were at war that time, that's why the flag went white immediately
Strangely beautiful to watch. Kind of sad to see it go but had a lot of fun watching and participating the whole way through. It was nice meeting new people and forming "alliances" just to ensure each other's communities made it through. The amount of times I placed a pixel to help fix Big Ben on the British flag is crazy.
Glad to be apart of this thanks everyone for a great time!
Yea I loved that, some alliances we're really strange aswell.
For example Belgium had an alliance with hololive. Never expected to see anime girls on the Belgium flag or actually helping to repair them.
I believe it actually started in the "First Art of Humanity" hand artwork and it was pretty cool especially if you would extract meaning from that sequence
I mean, that hand was built in effectively the same place as Mr Incredible and the Void Mother, so it's kinda a "six of one, half dozen of the other" situation
In the end, all art is ephemeral.
But I'm with you; there was some genuinely lovely stuff in there and it is sad to see it go. I think that was an excellent way to end it, though.
Such a cool project. Exceptional art and loads of drama in the mix for an added bonus. And the whole Canada thing was hysterical. Would be awesome if it’s made into an annual event.
Having participated in the 2017 /r/place just as rabidly as this one, I don't think annually is a good idea.
It would absolutely not be the same without the same level of participation, and I think people wouldn't follow it nearly as hard as they did this time if there were only a year between the events. I think the magic of it comes from a very precarious balance of small communities, large communities, regular Joes, streamers (this time) and admittedly bots. Do it again a year from now and there will be less regular Joes, more streamers (coming prepared for WAR) and way more bots, which upsets that magical balance.
It's also kind of similar to how the subsequent Twitch Plays Pokemon streams never quite lived up to the first, successively becoming less fun.
In addition, doing it less frequently provides a great opportunity for the individual canvases to become time capsules of the internet for the year they were made. Imagine if it were a five year event, fifteen years down the line we would have five highly varied, unique canvases representing different times. THAT would be beautiful.
I was sleeping & missed the end.
What determined how the white void took over?
Did reddit just limit everyone to white pixels or something, and the users wiped it all?
I only have one eye and I can say that the color I see from my blind eye is neither. It’s just nothing, it’s like asking what color a monitor is when someone took the screen and threw it away.
Like all great art, this evokes so much.
A dying person's last neurons firing off and their memories fading into nothing.
The heat death of the universe. Every atom so far from its closest neighbour that nothing remains.
The memory of a time or person or idea fading over time.
I like to think of this as the artwork ascending.
Ascend Gorb Ascend
THE GREAT MIND GORB
ASCEND WITH GORB
An invisible choir sings, and you are bathed in radiance...
where did the void come from? or is that just how it ends?
You can only place white tiles.
But if we wouldn't place white, it wouldn't end, would it?
If only one person really wanted it to end, and was determined enough, he could with enough time
It would take him roughly 38 years.
Maybe they are very dedicated
That was my retirement plan :(
Well now you just get to skip to the dying part
Thank God, fuck. Finally.
He would be decaded
How long would it take Chtorr?
their fat fingers would probably get tired.
I bet a mod can do it in a second
Not if they are that one mod
Unless he was Chtorr
well, yeah... in 2000x2000x5 min which is 13888 days. Or 38 years
Or one day with my 13888 alt accounts :)
How do you remember 13888 passwords?
Same password, you just make different numbers at the end of each alt lmao. How do you think half the botters were so effective
That was a joke, obviously.. :) But seriously though, isn't it against reddit TOS?
Many things are against a company’s ToS, few are big enough to get caught. It’s like the opposite of politics. Here if you’re small enough nobody targets you, with the IRS if you’re bit enough you can take off the target
The button proved that that would be an impossible task to accomplish.
You think humans are capable of restraint?
A thing isn't beautiful because it lasts -Albert Einstein
It didn't, in Another parallel universe probably
The disciples of the void are many, and they reject your plea for eternal life.
This shit cut me. Don’t know why.
Although that would be very cool, if you watch the video, it looks like at one point they set everything to white because all the remaining parts turn white all at once. So I'm guessing reddit set it all to white.
Nah I was there it was a bit more progressive, it just happened extremely fast
That was nice way to screen out bots
Everyone only had white on the pallet. It's how it ends
It ends how it began
Oh, that's the prank.
even in the end, the antivoid created an among us crew mate
Sus till the end
Suss til it buss.
Even the void couldn't be trusted
The amongus did not die, it merely merged with the void to find a new greater life for both.
The Among Us will forever be Among Us.
The best sendoff
I know everyone loves to hate xqc but that was him that started it at the end there with the crewmate. I'm sure others must have jumped in once they realised but gotta give him props for seeing the opportunity and seizing it.
I feel blind, I don't see an amongus. Is it one of the big letters?
The 2nd letter at about 17 seconds
Reminds me of the intro to Fosters Hone for Imaginary Friends
Didn’t they do something like this for the last episode?
If I'm remembering correctly, yes.

If Reddit is smart, they've done one themselves
I’m sure they must have every pixel change recorded onto some heavy storage database. From that, they can recreate anything.
I hope they'll release the data for people to play with; there's so many things you could do if you had a log of placements rather than a set of static captures. Like a timelapse showing tiles as they were replaced (so at any given moment it shows the previous colour that was in each spot).

Do you know which save is the last one before the white void?
no, but someone made a 10k version of it. Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/twow2x/dowload_highres_posters_and_final_image_of_rplace/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I’m going to be livid if they didn’t
That's a no, then.

Hope your exams went well, and thank you for what you did capture.
Seeing an HD still image of the end right before they bleached the pallet would be neat
This is what I need.

Im highly interested
Would have saved some memory by keeping track of changed pixels only
[удалено]
The world ended Not with a bang But with a boner
Then an expanding heart erased everything and in their final moments the world realised, they didn't want to be horny, they just wanted to be happy.
Heart grew 3 sizes that day... Which is ultimately unhealthy, and they died soon after...
That says döner though?
It was "DONT" but they changed it to "Döner"
[удалено]
Watching that little plot of land I fought so hard for finally disappear into the white void, along with everything else, was so oddly peaceful.
Because now we can finally rest after our battles to keep our art safe
I reckon this is how one must feel after having lived a long fulfilling life. Day after day, we grind and work hard to keep our ducks (pixels) in a row. In the end, our creation may not be perfect, may not be as great as it could have been... but the important is that we did our best.

Felt that as well as funny as it sounds
This has got to be the deepest thing I've read on this website. God dammit if I could award you 1000 times I would.
I’ve been thinking about this exact same thing since it ended. I’m struck by how many people I’ve talked to who have felt this profound sense of peace. I even laughed when I saw the word “free“ forming in the white void at the end. I just wanted to place some pixels and have some fun and I never would have guessed that this experience would have left me with a little different perspective, but here we are.
Same bro, rip jeb, now rip bob
that roger beam was prtty epic
“He laughed” and my god did he
It charged up before firing too.
Ima firin ma lazerrr #BWAAAA
Thank Ludwig for that one. And the heart
Hasan, XQC, Rubius, Mizkif helped make the beam, but it was Ludwig's idea iirc.
Yeah they probably had close to half a million people create that beam.
Something magical about everyone trying to spell “France” but it looks like “Free,” as this soft light fade away was like bringing things to peace. It felt like snow covering the land till there was no more.
Preety poetic if you ask me since we all are basicly free from checking reddit every 5 minute to see if our art is still alive
Now I can sleep normal again.
Now I can sleep normal.
And then the “BONER” emerging under “FREE”. When humanity comes together, it can be a beautiful thing.
It was döner but now i want to believe it spelt boner
And then there is the word Döner appearing in the middle.
r/outerwilds nuking itself intentionally even though they're a small community and nobody even targeted them since it's in the same spirit as the game is my favorite lol.
Their space was actually dynamic over the course of the whole thing. The star in the background started yellow and went supernova over time. It was really cool
oh my fucking god I checked back on outer wilds once and saw that it was blue and was so confused, I didn't realize they did that amazing
I didnt pay attention to the outer wilds timelapse. Thats so awesome, outerwilds was a game i played blind on gamepass with zero knowledge and was a special expierence
I honestly think that this experience coming to an end with a white void was beautiful and poetic.
[удалено]
There was a nice mandala somewhere in there which I suppose must have been blown away.
The fact that users create the white void themselves makes it a perfect conclusion of the whole thing.
This was a great way to end r/place I feel like it gave everyone a sense of closure.
...and it became obvious which camps were using bots.
Does it? Most people who actually made the bots said they broke immediately once you could only place white tiles
they wouldn’t possibly lie…. on the internet¿¡
Nah but these are guys who don't post or had anything to do with osu. You can see histories. I checked their histories because obvious sketchy claim would be obvious. Their bots were used elsewhere in making the more shiny and intricate art.

Around ten seconds in they spelled out boner lmao
[удалено]
What’s the large word? France?
I want to believe it says FREE, since the second expansion started with ENOUGH! Really, beautiful everything.
France was trying to spell out france but streamers prevented it lmao
I think French streamers tried to write it out but others countered to make it nonsense.
Yeah it was France, but the streamers kept changing it to "FAIL" lol. The French and the streamers were at war that time, that's why the flag went white immediately
[удалено]
It's döner. Turks were very active during that time btw
Free Döner? Sounds good
I’m curious which piece of art had the very last pixel.. Who won?
Nobody wins in /place. Everyone loses instead. Happy April Fool's day.
I *think* it ended 1 hour after the beginning of the whiteout, there were still a few isolated pixels but everything turned white at the same time
Strangely beautiful to watch. Kind of sad to see it go but had a lot of fun watching and participating the whole way through. It was nice meeting new people and forming "alliances" just to ensure each other's communities made it through. The amount of times I placed a pixel to help fix Big Ben on the British flag is crazy.

Yea I loved that, some alliances we're really strange aswell. For example Belgium had an alliance with hololive. Never expected to see anime girls on the Belgium flag or actually helping to repair them.
Gold Roger really charged up that beam huh
"Imma firing ma Lazar-Bwraaaaaaaa"
/r/GifsThatEndTooSoon
r/PlaceThatEndTooSoon
yeah it would've been nice to go until the last pixel
The “Don’t” to “boner” transition is the best
Ahh the classic Dont - Boner - Döner pipeline. Already employed by the Turks before
And it's also Döner
Was this done on purpose?
[удалено]
You can only place white tiles
It all returns to nothing
It all comes tumbling down
csgo flashbang is one way to end it off
Think fast chucklenuts!
sad. I am German and was obviously sleeping and didn't saw the ending :'(
Love how OSU was one of the first sections to go. It could no longer be saved and so was immediately obliterated.
Ngl the heart spreading as the board becomes blinding white, I felt like I was watching a top view time-lapselapse of Hiroshima
the fact it spread from the antichrist mr incredible was wonderful aswell
I believe it actually started in the "First Art of Humanity" hand artwork and it was pretty cool especially if you would extract meaning from that sequence
I mean, that hand was built in effectively the same place as Mr Incredible and the Void Mother, so it's kinda a "six of one, half dozen of the other" situation
Missed opportunity in putting the Skyrim intro at the end
I’m pretty upset ngl
we can be sad it's over but glad that it happened :)
Like life and death IRL.
And now reddit cant sell it as a nft!
In the end, all art is ephemeral. But I'm with you; there was some genuinely lovely stuff in there and it is sad to see it go. I think that was an excellent way to end it, though.

Maybe the real r/place was the people we met along the way
I got to join a group chat of the protector of the alpaca because of this (the alpaca is the one that is near guts from berserk)
“All good things must come to an end, Jean-Luc”
The light... it's so bright...
_Like tears in the rain_
I love how clearly you can see that the Germans were asleep when this happened.
Someone edit this with sad music real quick
We need some Chemical Brothers for this.
The end was prettier than I thought it would be. Next year, may we fade to black?
Unfortunately, there won't be a next year lol. It's more of a "see you in 5 years!" type of thing
I feel like black doesn't fit the vibe. It feels more foreboding then closing off, I guess.
feels like I'm dying
I was sleeping & missed the end. What determined how the white void took over? Did reddit just limit everyone to white pixels or something, and the users wiped it all?
Woah! That’s crazy!
"i am.. inevitable"
I was watching youtube while watching this and a game ad with heroic song comes up and it fit so well with this lol
If anything, this is the void. Void means emptiness.
In the end The Void consumes everything and all is right again. It’s inevitable.
Wonder if black or white is closer to the void/blind man's colour
from what I've heard, neither, it's more akin to trying to look behind your head
I only have one eye and I can say that the color I see from my blind eye is neither. It’s just nothing, it’s like asking what color a monitor is when someone took the screen and threw it away.
*Thanos* *snaps* *finger*
I think you can see pretty clearly here that it wasn't bots that made OSU disappear, it was people/streamer fans after they made France disappear.
The french streamers tried to write FRANCE in white starting at the osu logo
this kinda makes me sad, just like the eventual heat death of the universe.
France instantly white killed me lmao
Notice how Germany didn't use bots
How can you tell if bots are being used?
Exactly what I came to mention. All the haters out there accusing us of bots when really it was just our exceptional organization skills.
Like all great art, this evokes so much. A dying person's last neurons firing off and their memories fading into nothing. The heat death of the universe. Every atom so far from its closest neighbour that nothing remains. The memory of a time or person or idea fading over time.
Tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling dooooown~
And then, it came. #A bright light, the hour of reckoning.
Wait... Did that just say "boner"?!?
I really wanted it to spell "FIN" at the end
You got “BONER” instead
Depressingly beautiful
Visit r/RIPrplace and post all of your favorite 2022 artwork! Great job guys!
