How much coordination did this take? You’re only able to do a certain about of pixels right? Or did it freefall at the last minute?
There was clearly a large bot net which started stencilling the outlines of the letters, but then it was magic, everybody understood the assignment. The letters filled out in a handful of minutes. Then, then the whiteout slowed - the apes (mostly) agreed the job was done. It took another half an hour or so for the white fog to finally take hold.
Shure some bots might be involved, but there was a tampermonkey overlay which showed where to put the right pixel. Many with this overlay worked ahead and the rest followed. Also some streamers coordinated hundreds of thousands of users.
oce 🐆The gorgeous magic of the internets.
