how did I have no idea the same guy that made r/place made wordle? like it's pretty impressive to make a viral internet thing, but TWO viral internet things?!
Also the button
I guess if you can make 2, then you make 10! He definitely has solved the viral algorithm :p
@@jaajoo1660 idk what "worlde" is but ok
@@dooddoingstuff It’s a game, about well words
@@nanda28cc did you not realize i was replying to the guy that said "worlde" is bad
Dude this guy made BOTH wordle and r/place. What a legend
He made simplistic yet brilliant things
Absolute gigachad
yeah.
He also made marbles
He also made chairs.
That German flag intersecting with the french flag and creating arte was kinda sweet. Arte is a joint tv channel between the two countries and part of the initiative to foster friendship between them after ww2.
It is also the best, most qualitative, channel I know of. So, at least of France, probably of Germany too.
People have a dear place in their heart for Arte because it feeds us culture and intelligence.
Weirdly enough it is the German TV channel with the best online and CZcams presence. That's weird because it was considered to be more of a channel for older people or people interested in Art and Culture. Not a Channel that was very appealing for younger people. But I must admit that I really live their CZcams videos
My favorite was the german flag making a memory with belgium for WWI
@@johannanortmann9964 DW is bigger, but it is hard to compare because they just translate everything and rarely do their own documentaries, but their news channel is also very big
It was a bit better in 2017 because there weren't any established unwritten rules or coordination between communities early on. So the French and German flags happened to intersect and there was a lot of fighting over who would be on top in that spot. But then, the EU flag emerged.
I absolutely LOVE the fact that when the French and the germans crossed paths they made the EU flag,really goes to show how after ww2 we both became good friends
It happened in the 2017 one so people did it again
There is the EU flag and also somewhere else the logo of ARTE which is a french/german TV channel
I still think the first german and belgium crossing was even more legendary considering they decided to give the eagle beer and then muscles.
Get ze Flammenwerfer
There was another German Belgian crossing at one point where they made a ww1 memorial
Still laughing about Jerma's sus face being absolute nightmare fuel
I spent a long time making the smile wider and wider.
@@specialmonkey68 maybe one day we can achieve a jerma sus face that smiles all across r/place.
The amount of times 985 turned into SUS at the beginning was also nightmare fuel
There’s a video of the timelapse for the face but with the Cleric Beast’s theme put over it. Absolutely terrifying
he also has jotaro’s hat
Wow, I actually had no clue our Newgrounds tank was a hair away from being nuked. 6:40
The little tank that could 😢
Hi Ross 🙂
omg ur right
Am part of the Isab community above new grounds, our tank could not
@@danielsappl Aliensrock. our tank couldnt either
Iirc XQC specifically asked to leave the new grounds and FNF murals done by your chat alone
I’m impressed someone managed to make a video on r/place without mentioning Among Us
Without mentioning germany
Seems like a big oversight if it’s supposed to be an entire history of r/place. Among Us was kind of ubiquitous.
Ludwig pretty much saved Kirby. The first Kirby was ugly af, and would've been taken over, over time. But because of Ludwig, he saved Kirby, by making it look good.
Nah because the dude who built the first kirby had a lot of skilled army so they could build kirby instantly
@@KOT-jk7dh A skilled army wouldn't really make a fucked up Kirby would it? So it's not really a skilled army, but an army nonetheless.
@@johngrimm2074hey, how can u know if it’s skilled? Bc I was a soldier of his army, so stfu
r/Place was such an amazing event in streaming history and internet history. It was really nice to see every community come together to make all sorts of different artworks
i loved how fast it went from wholesome reddit community to full out international war.
wouldve been way better if it was fair and not botted, the bronies, french and osu botted their art so it would never be destroyed
only for a bunch of fucking streamers who just downloaded reddit to get their 9 year old viewers and ruin said artworks
@@noaheaston2147 not sure about the French and osu though
Lol if you think that's what history is then you might have a mental deficiency
As a canadian, seeing the flag get messed up that bad made me laugh so hard
the german flag had a better flag for you than you did for yourself
right? hell if i know what a maple leaf looks like
i loved that lol
My guess is the stoners were trying to make it into a marijuana leaf. The sabotage came from the inside
“Made by Americans”
I feel that by not doing his own piece of art but helping other communities, Lud and his fans left a bigger impact on the canvas, there were multiple posts in Lud's subreddit thanking him for either help them create their art or helping them when someone else tried to take over
Ludwig is the few streamers I respect during the time of r/place. Actually creating art and not just destroying other smaller communities, malding, and then calling people bots.
He forgot the void!
Worst communities were the spanish
Just wanna say Jerma never asked his community to place anything on the canvas, but everyone took the initiative to build and rebuild until the absolute MASTERPIECE that was JoJoJermaSus was established 👏 amazing community.
Are you a female that watches Ludwig? If so the higher ups need to hear of this.
I mean we welcome you is what i meant to say of course.
@@sethbishop6890 would you mind shutting the hell up, why you making it weird?
Nobody ever typed in JoJoJermaSus but you and now me. It doesn't exist anywhere on the internet.
@@NaudVanDalen and now me, and im still confused about what it is
Can we talk about how genius ludwig’s gang system was though?
Six and nine gang held down the fort fr
1-3 gang wya 😤✊
5 gang 😤😤
6 gang pull up
Meanwhile 7 gang didn't even get called yo do anything.
Ludwig's 1-9 gang system was so creative and engaging. I found it lame when other creators were using the extension that did everything but actually place the pixel. It was really impressive what we were able to create just by a simple picture overlay and a common goal
Shots fired at Rubber Ross, I guess?
Honestly, it's impossible to build really complex things with this technique, but yeah it is more fun. We did a lot of baguettes around the map with this, it was really funny.
I was part of the omori community, probably the most unifying 4 days I've felt with random people on discord in years building 2 headquarters and several characters with communities we allied with. Cant wait for another 5 years to go by
I remember seeing XQC almost destroy that. I also saw Lisa the Painful next to Omori, although not sure if that was also you guys.
Scotland was allied with omori in both your locations, it was really great to be next to your work :)
omori clan rise
Making general art like this is honestly probably the best way to go about it, because it’s not just your community that will keep it up, but once it’s established it can become self sustaining as people outside your control will want to keep it up too
That's what makes it awesome. I wasn't part of a community, I didn't help create art, but I protected it. The big art pieces and the small ones, I was helping. And I'm proud of it :)
Those S.Korean and Japanese flags at the end had quite the story. Basically in the AoT community we did the Wings where the Ukraine mural was being built and then the S.Korean flag was placed on top, seeing how it kinda cut off the top of the wings we wanted to help move it up some pixels and while we were doing it the Japanese took over the flag.
Later they would resolve to build it in the left and we helped with our pixels. Now it just looks really nice but man if it wasnt a process lmao, quite fkn ironic too.
I was working on the homestuck spot so it was fun seeing all that go down. Eventually someone tried to add a North Korea flag to the left of South Korea, but it was changed o Taiwan. We fought a lot with Taiwan trying to get on top of our card!
Lol
As a French, let me tell you my respect for you and your community. It was sooo fun to see both you and my favorite French streamers interact (even though I don't enjoy Kameto, you spoke with Zerator and Antoine Daniel which I love). I'm a bit ashamed to say that, but it made me laugh so much when they gave you the spanish flag because yeah colonialism was a thing with France. Shoutouts to you and your community! You made incredible arts! (Your french is sooo good btw)
As someone from monkeytype, one of the small(ish) communities on the canvas, what you said about the power of streamers on r/place couldn't be more true. XQC completely voided the monkeytype logo twice, and connoreatspants even briefly tried to make art of top of us, but as soon as the streamer was offline or chose a different area of focus, it was easy to come back.
omg you're one of the monkeytype people! i was in the animal crossing community people in an alliance w you that helped rebuild lmao
monkeytype best type….
I helped made the monkey type too! Was pretty fun
"He laughed" was probably one of the greatest pieces on r/place
Probably one of the greatest lines ever honestly.
Straight up.
No ew anime sucks
I was blown away the first time I saw it there. It’s such a beautiful panel
@@Magst3r1 That’s what I used to think, but then I watched One Piece.
“Nobody dared to mess with good art” Ok that would make sense if x didn’t destroy star wars. I also love how x diminishes the importance of small communities by saying “it’s just pixels on a monitor” when he makes a living off of online content creation. Really goes to show how ignorant he is.
yeah he's the expert of making excuses. he kept fucking with turkey's skyline art and that was good art as well
your mad about pixels on a white canvas 🤣
@@thebuttermaster9618 mad at letters on your screen?
How is that ignorant? Online content creation isn't overwriting other peoples work with your own, there's an infinite space for your own content; r/place is very finite, and so it allows for that behavior and encourages it. The whole point is that everything is temporary on the canvas and is subject to constant evolution or change from other communities. xQc happens to have one of the biggest active communities, so naturally he can change a lot at once. The entire idea of larger communities making more change happen is completely natural and so is other communities fighting against it.
when he destroyed something was actually good because small communities could make their own art when before they couldnt, so he actually was making room, it allowed a small community that I am part of to fit in so :/
I was fighting for my life when Kirby was attacked. Little did I know that Ludwig was just gonna make it better.
7:44 I helped create a very small reference to my favourite anime with 4-5 other people in the final hours of r/place after hours of trying got permission from a bigger community and managed to be on the final canvas. It is so tiny and insignificant but at the time it meant the world to me. I went to sleep at 1 am that day, but I was smiling for days after that. I never expected to be so invested with r/place I even went way out of my comfort zone and was the main mediator for us.
As a redditor who placed just 1 pixel in the entirety of r/place war, I can say that this is one of the best moments we've had on the internet in a long time.
I placed 2 B)
i placed 3
@@crypton7572 jk i love you
Lucky, I didn't know it existed until it ended ;-;
**sad noises**
i was sitting in science class and got to watch the evolution of a bunch of art because i was just occasionally looking around for a couple of minutes at a time and it was so interesting to just look at everything slowly change and evolve and you could see all these little stories playing out with every art piece, r/place is such a massive thing and you could study the entire thing for hours and barely know a portion of the story behind it all
I loved the void and all the eldritch horrors that came with it. The last one was especially good, with uncanny Mr. Incredible turning into a demonic Lord English. And how even though the coordinated Homestuck fans had little art, when uncoordinated they managed to bring the Helmsman as an eldritch horror. It actually turned into art more beautiful than all the previous eldritch horrors.
I'm glad at least some of the void managed to stay till the end
I loved how Ludwig went about streaming on r/place!! He helped build beautiful art pieces that many would enjoy and want to uphold, and he also tried to help build back some spots that had been damaged. Really sweet, and really worth it. Had a nice time being part of the building groups.
That call back to the smash documentary at the end was great. It really shows how a community can spawn out of a shared goal or interest. Keep up the great content lud o7
Glad someone else pointed this out. Had the same music and everything 🙏
Favorite part of the video :)
Honestly its really awesome what lud did with r/place. Renovating and creating instead of leaving an advertising mark
Honestly, what xqc did maybe wasn't so bad either
@@aguyontheinternet8436 He did add some cool art that not that many talked about, but also gave other smaller communities a chance to put their art over what he destroyed.
@@aguyontheinternet8436 I mean, his Zyzz tribute speaks for itself
his first artpiece was the Yard logo LOL. but ya afterwards agreed.
@@chodak3709 The widow booty was what made r/place accept him lmao
Just when I think Reddit can't get any crazier...it does.
Some of the art I saw was absolutely beautiful
And r/place has made a comeback..
I feel like it's not gonna be as good as last year
@@imbaguette1985hey, you were right
The point XQC made, where he said that voiding the art of smaller communities would help create better art pieces in the end. was sometimes true.
But if so, why would he ever attack Star Wars? one of the best art pieces in r/place?
Because in the end, he *is* the villain.
A villain can be a hero one day, but he'll come back to his good old habits afterwards :-)
Because it was never something he actually believed. He would just say anything at all that he thought might deflect criticism in the moment.
because his ego cant handle it, if he cant have fun anyone cant
Because he could. And Star Wars was guaranteed to rebuild immediately afterward. People need to chill when it comes to xQc
@@Flash4ML why does a dog lick his balls and a man doesn't? *Because he can.*
It's just a stupid argument.
Unrelated to that saying, if you do something because you can, especially things that annoy or hurt other people, that's just abuse of power and nothing worthy of praise.
The other things he said where mostly excuses that fell into his lap. There are good reasons for expecting that he did not have noble intentions.
It's okay to be annoyed by annoying behavior and to question it. Saying people have to chill for questioning questionable behavior just isn't right.
Ayo as a Czech person it made me really happy to see you show the Czech and Slovak flag first at the end of the video. Even tho neither of us had that much space compared to other countries, I love the art that made it into both of our flags, and that we stood proud next to our brothers.
certified Czech moment
náhodou, keď si zoberieš napr. pomer počtu obyvateľov Slovenska a veľkosť našej vlajky, patrili sme k jedným s najväčších!
Would have loved to see a Nigerian flag there lol....but I couldn't never get one
Fun fact: There was a tiny square in r/place 2023 where a bunch of people recreated the ENTIRETY OF BAD APPLE. And it wasn’t even very simple characters. It was perfect.
this really made me smile. thanks so much for what you and your community added to r/place
i’m so happy lud is making more videos like these, i love this format, and as great as stream highlights are, these are the videos that truly slap
I think the end of r/place was beautiful too. Everyone spent hours upon hours creating art together, just for it to be torn down in the end. A beautiful end to an amazing project. Happy April Fools Indeed
Ludwig’s story telling is always top tier
I’m glad you brought up Gol Rogers picture. I think the art pieces that nobody messed with are the staples of an idea like this. An overarching idea that “oh yeah that’s a staple to everyone even though I’m not a part of that community” is amazing
I remember hearing about r/place and trying to find something to help out with. Not long after, Ludwig was streaming, directing us through a redesign of that Kirby art. It was really nice and I'm proud to say that I was a part of it.
Same! First one I felt a part of as well.
same It felt really nice to help my favourite streamer on this platform and i helped build every artwork he designed even if it was just 1 pixel at a time
Ludwig always manages to make normal videos and then out of the blue, make something so poetic it can make me feel like crying. I was there, and forever will be, I’ll see you pixels in 5 years
Idk if i want them to do it every year, or every 5 just to keep it special. Very torn
always love videos like these because they document what happened and i can always easily access this video to say what r/place was
i was so upset when it was over. i had no idea that it even happened 5 years ago even though i was on the internet that long ago but i didn’t use reddit then. i cant even imagine 5 years from now doing this again and having to wait that long but everyone else who was apart of it 5 years ago had to wait 5 years for it again. it’ll be cool to see the different generations of the internet every 5 years summed up in pixel art, and see if people start to care more about overtaking people areas. cant wait for it again
Let's not forget the germans. They legit FOUGHT and almost always WON every battle they had. Even teamed up with Belgium and flexed the leeve in Canada's flag (they made it in their flag better for the first try when Canada needed all of r/place to make it).
If you know anything about Korea and Japan's relationship you know just how big and wholesome that little heart is.
This whole event was honestly some of the most fun I've had online this year. Hopping between different streams and subreddits to check how their projects are going, seeing collaboration and rivalry and ultimately the creation of beatiful art was really nice. Despite the drama and "wars", after the event finished I think it was a lot more about unity and collaboration. I think I'll remember this one for a while.
Honestly the last part hit hard
I was part of one of the smaller communities, we made the spider with the eye on it above the second German flag and it was a tribute to an amazing horror podcast called the magnus archives
Everytime I watch a time-lapse, see ot there fighting off a streamer, get taken by bots and then rebuild in the last couple of hours it brings so much joy. The server that we coordinated in is still up and we're a really close group now with in jokes and memes XD
This event was true anarchy. It reminded me of 2b2t in the sense of community, war, and conquering.
Not gonna lie, the fact that people have a war for pixels is funny
Silence. Join us in petty meaningless internet war
Sorry can’t hear you over funny pixel changes
well thanks for not lying to us i guess? LOO
The pixels might outlive us
and streamers make money out of it, and it was fun
r/place: Alright so you have this whole space to draw anything you want, be creative :)
Reddit Users: *p a t r i o t i s m*
Also redditors later:
*d e g e n e r a c y*
actually redditors: *s* *u* *s*
meanwhile the foxhole community just remakes a game map and starts fighting a war just like in the mmo

This is one of those videos Ludwig makes that just make me stare in amazement at what he as a creator can do and what we as a community have the power to influence... Great video mate thank you for that.
Im really happy and proud of what my community did even tho its small. Seeing us in a Lud video and see the tale of how we almost got whipped out twice but survived and conquered over streamers 5 times our size its amazing! I feel like we are so united after that. The streamer that led us was kind and we helped rebuild our neighbours and gave tribute to friends along the way. Overall a great experience!
The great whiteout of r/place still makes me emotional, weirdly enough while it was there I thought it was cool and that was it. I guess you truly never really understand the beauty of something till it’s gone.
Yep 😢
If you think about it deeply enough and pronounce it weirdly you get “our place” technically this could be the name of the game exactly like this in the future
a game with joinable in game guild, Live world chat and built in heatmap perhaps.

One of the most fun times ive ever had on the internet. International wars and being apart of every thing you love. Still very sad its over but it ending is what made it beautiful
this was one of my favourite online events ever, I remember getting home Monday night and dedicating the whole time to helping keep rainbow dash alive from nuke after nuke. We had such a good time in the server vc and I met some really great people, and I think that the sense of community this sort of thing brings only comes about once every once in a while, and I'm always glad to get to experience it.
people hate bronies _so much_ and its honestly stupid. let people enjoy a show about rainbow horses.
If you look at the heat map rainbow dash is one of the reddest areas.
Sadly France ruins the heat map a little bit by dwarfing everything else.
I had so much fun defending
Sadly I wasnt there for the first version of Rainbowdash and wasnt able to stay until the end.

This was great. Seriously love this video style. Seriously was a lot of fun making the art and the respect I've seen online for not being toxic. Felt good. Anyways congratulations to you and everyone else who worked on it together!
My favorite thing about this was the void, the overall evolution it went through from uncanny mr incredible to hell beast was amazing
great recap video Lud! I'm proud to have helped make your art. Especially Iroh
My personal favorite was the Mr. Incredible which evolved into a biblically accurate angel
this was such a great time...being part of this community and event etc... memories were made. ♥️
I remember this.
I never had so many discord notifs before or since.
But i was there.
At one point i was talking to a group of turkish people on behalf of r/hollowknight and r/elden ring. The second day was mainly flitting between some small artworks of fandoms i was in (We got WOF on the canvas, now That is Thrilling.)
The last day was mainly spent on the technoblade artwork, and the Erd-Radiance. What a fucking journey.
Also lud forgot to mention the increased palette, Day 2 had the hollowknight discord in a collaborative anyuerism trying to make the back ground Blue. Gotta love Stotal missplay, one of my faves.
So proud to be French
r/Place became more of an MMO Experience
I didn't know much about you but your community made few of the best pieces ♥
Bravo! Congrats from France
I absolutely love seeing Lud make such different types of videos to show his actual variety, but it always ends with his classic ending
This was an awesome experience, thanks to all of you for participating.
i haphazardly helped out the small hollow knight art and it was really cute how elden ring fans put ranni on the bench, and a ton of other indie game pixel art (like hollow knight, not elden ring lmao) got added around it.
Ludwig has a way of making this seem like a major world event
Yeah my dude really out there making us feel bad about not paying any attention to it
Because it was a major world event lmao
It was pretty cool being apart of this watching the process and such. Interested to see what happens 1 to 5 years from now
2:06 I was part of the Italy Discord server that made that art. One hell of a community, always good to see your work recognized. thank you Ludwig :)
Both the chaos and the beauty is amazing when you think of the people that came together to do all of it.
I was apart of the reckful tribute led by General mizkif. Alliances were made and war was waged but despite that, something beautiful came out of it and at the end after the dust had settled and the grid had once more been engulfed in white pixels, everyone had reconciled and agreed that it was a really fun time and no grudges were held. Thanks to everyone who took part and helped protect reckfuls tribute, he would be proud.
r/place was truly a amazing place to be in and i think that everybody that was there for it is a happy person
The end was just beautiful, I genuinely enjoyed the concept
i like the sense of nostalgia in the ending because i love coming back to videos years after they came out and this one will be nice to watch again and remember :)
Id say the most interesting community was the void, mainly because they had nothing to go off of, they just made it and adapted to their surroundings
Yeah, people took things too seriously imo, but it’s Reddit so I guess that should be expected. Streamers really didn’t do much damage, they made the whole thing much more interesting
It was such an interesting experience. Diplomacy, war, negotiation, and banding together to create something beautiful. Absolutely amazing ^_^
It wasn’t just Miz who was at war with the brony faction. Other major streamers like asmongold and xqc also launched multiple attacks on our art pieces. In fact, the bronies were actually one of the few factions who survived the attacks of xqc’s army. We were getting constantly attacked by streamers, to the point where by the end of the event we had been hit by a total of 22 major attacks (not little strikes, full blown warfare). We kept getting pelted by some of the strongest attackers of the event, yet we managed to survive and rebuild every single time and make it all the way to the end. We definitely had a harder and more chaotic run than most of the other factions, but I’d say it was worth it just to prove to those streamers that we were one enemy they wouldn’t defeat. Thanks for your contributions to the canvas Ludwig, and thank you for not abusing your power to attack other people’s art like a lot of other streamers did.
Damn, that brings back memories when I was there to experience all the days of 2023's r/Place, my first r/Place experience. I was glad to be part of our community as a fellow brony x3
You could seriously make documentaries, you have a great feel for the essence of the thing you're talking about major props ludwig
This was such a beautiful event. It was so nice to see all of the communities brought together like this. I wouldn’t want them to do it too soon but I definitely wanna see this happen once more.
definitely the best internet event in a while
It was so much fun placing pixels during the Ludwig stream. Kirby was adorable 🥰
The white heart we built during the ending is so beautiful if looked like this, through the timelapse. Really sums up the true principle of r/place
HAHA, The ending where Lud is quoting "Wife" from the smash doc was brilliant. Even matched the music.
he said “it’s me” like this was the intro to an anime 💀
Its a beautiful colab of people, it was so fun watch
Gotta love Luds vids summarised the whole thing perfectly props to the editor too!
A small community I'm in and I had a 50x50 area and even then we had so much lore. We had allies, enemies, and journeys across the canvas. We survived to the end and our enemies were destroyed by a powerful outside force.
Gotta say I never comment but this has gotta be one of Ludwig’s most well put together video, putting that journalism degree to work
Ludwig i must say seeing the avatar art you made made feel many emotions. even after the stream was done the community improved it more and honored mako.
God dammit you made me cry
I remember that scene
You know Ludwig has unlocked English 2 when his conclusion almost brings a tear to my eye
The entire history of steamers on r/place. There was so much more than just streamers. From bots to cheating mods to the among us characters being added every where to the void mothers evolution. Even behind the scenes stuff like 4chan making the trans flag bigger to make the trans community look invasive. Place is more than just the streamers
so happy that r/india held strong and defeated the void proud to have helped
“If it was beautiful enough nobody fucked with it” meanwhile xqc destroying the insane star wars poster to have a logo he already had just a bit to the right of it at the time.
And it came back a few minutes later when he moved on. You don’t seriously think that it would have been destroyed from that do you? I don’t expect to get through to you but people need to chill out about streamers
" What is the eysore here?"
" The french"
Couldn't agree more my friend
