    But r/place is ruled by bots… I bet the kind of people who develop bots are reeeeaaaly pleased about the API changes…

      I haven’t done so, but r/place would be extremely easy to write a bot using Selenium to place pixels without an API. It is a giant grid, and once you write a function to place at coordinates on the grid (which would be the hardest part, but still trivial) you can parallelize it and do whatever you want.

        Oh absolutely, but the venn diagram of people who can do this, and people who value open APIs is pretty close to a circle.
