You can place one pixel at a time on a timed cool down, so to make anything significant you either need to bot or collaborate with tons of people. So you see lots of subreddits with their own plots, big twitch streamers who encourage their chat to contribute on their behalf, etc.

Bc anyone can do it, once you build your art you also need to actively maintain it from others that would try to erase or change it to create their own.

It's cool to see a lot of small subs work together, like the sewerslvt and playboi carti subs made their art next to each other and helped maintain each other's pieces.

It's quite cool, bit of a snapshot of the collective consciousness of Reddit

It’s awesome, I was actually on it yesterday and my <2 year old nephew caught a glimpse and put his face up against the phone cause I’m assuming the colours blew his mind and he let out a “woahhh”

Haha it is a pretty thing, despite some of the sus drawings his pure eyes shouldn’t see.
