In this video, I recount the entire history of r/place, which was a social experiment done by Reddit on April 1, 2022. A lot of Among Us jokes are imminent. This video took me 2 months because of all the editing that I had to do.
Some footage courtesy of xQc, Mizkif, Ludwig, Hasanabi, Kamet0, etc.

Cant believe Napoleon is reincarnated as a french streamer.
This time he was smart enough to stay away from Germany and lucky enough that Russia wasn't part of it though.
@@olgahein4384 only talk but don’t bit
@@olgahein4384 The Germans were actually helping the French defending their flag at some point.
@@ara9914 Yes, i know. We allied with the french flag pretty early on. Not the huge ego one on the left lower corner of the last expansion, that was a french streamer thing, but the official french one (much smaller than the streamer fans) who made the "Arte" logo with us.
That last ditch effort of writing france was waterloo
You gotta be the first non-French content creator not accusing us of using bots. Thanks. I don't think the politian's Tweet boosted anything, we were mostly annoyed by it since it was all in good fun and the guy was just trying to farm votes. Great editing overall!
The French straight up deploy the special force, nice.
France used a ton of bots nonetheless
@@logictom7254 Got any proof? I'm talking real evidence, some clip or recording of a french streamer using or telling his community to use bots, or even a french forum or discord server with people using bots.
@@logictom7254 man it's hard to admit that orgnasation beats number isn't it ?
eric zemmour try not to appeal to the younger generation (impossible)
r/place is like placing many communities together in a setting of anarchy
Turkïye
r/place took "its just pixels" to a whole other level
So people will not unite to end pollution, climate change, social problems, ect. But they United to fight off France and all collaborated to make pixel art on reddit? I don't know if I should be proud, mad, sad, confused? Actually it's obvious, I'm disa- proud in mankind. And especially in this human known as Chaze who is a master at editing and comedy. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Welcome to the internet
@@Chaze_ it's like the Wild West out here
France hade it easy. We were attacked constently till from the begining till the very end. Ukraine Flag, Purple Blob, The "Cum"met, etc. It was a hard fight.
To be fair, this is a group of terminally online nerds, not a bunch of politicians, so they're automatically less toxic and capable of working together.
And while the rest of the world unite against the french, the french united to end climate change, social problems, ect in a yearly event called the Z event
As a french person seeing Kameto defending the french flag with less viewers than Xqc only was truly hilarious
yea but with bots
@@lemon6823 Nope, I was there and I think I want proof of that :) Even in the video he said it was proved wrong c:

No french people just have extreme insomnia
We Canadiens have no idea how the people who made the flag managed to draw it.
Agreed

Got to have been germans ig
as a canadian, i can agree with this comment
@@lionljb ayo wtf😂
The fact that they even tried to fight almost ALL THE REDDITORS OF FRANCE in the first place is kinda amazing.
the phenomenal power of France is normal during this event because ALL the streamers of France are gathered under the banner of General Kameto. As a reminder the majority of the big French streamers participate in Zevent, which makes the streamers communicate with each other and are active.
Oh look its napoleon and his marshals reincarnated
@@ygotsvlog3762 oui
5:00 actually that guy was really disliked, and it was just a moment where the French community laughed at him It probably hurt the community more than anything
Didn't expect Reddit's quirky social engineering turned into 21st century Napoleonic wars.
how the hell did the actual Reddit team not notice this
lol
there leaglly blind or stoopid XD
I’m sure they knew but didn’t care
They organised this whole thing bro
Cant wait for r/place 2023

Fun fact from the first day: Czechs and TF2 community were right next to each other but then some fighting happened and diplomatic talk happened afterwards and then truce was made
Now we just need oversimplified to make another mini-wars episode on the r/place war.
FR
1% void 1% other 2% of streamers screaming because of white pixels 12% flags 19% XQC 29% Reddit moderators 36% France
And 100% Amongus as everything is made out of em
Void is coming back
0:16 my fav part
they better bring r/place back next year and make the canvas almost thrice as big, documentation of the possible 'war' will be even more chaotic, but every second of this video had me at the edge of my seat with everything going on all over the place.
i think they bring it back every 5 years most likely
@@KustProductions well, patience is a virtue I guess
they archived it already
@@KustProductionsoops
They may have brought it back but now its horrible
As a person who isn't Spanish, i can feel the pain of a Spanish seeing the republican flag from 1939.
Yea But Do U mean Spanish State? Aka Fascist Spain
if youre talking abt 4:04 thats the fascist flag on the foreground lmao not the republican one
@@paulamarina04 lmaooo that guy
Holy shit you have no idea hahahahahhahahahahaha insane
Btw the republican flag is the red yellow purple as far as I know, that's the fascist flag, Im going to assume you meant to say that, but yes. Big lol
The MLP fandom was basically the Poland of the whole event. Multiple times they were destroyed only to then comeback multiple times and even surviving until the end.
You will never kill us, no matter what you do
@@metraking192 Yeah, pretty much.
fr they were nuked about 22 times in the entire course of r/place but they always came back
found this on my recommended, and feel like i oughta chime in for the Splatoon community. we were wiped out not once, but twice over by two different sources, who were both streamers. each time we replanted ourselves in a new spot, and we ended in the bottom-left corner practically next door to France, where we also risked annihilation but still stayed until the end. we also managed to get an octopus and a golden egg up near the giant lemon! we weren’t the biggest, but we fought hard. we lost a couple times, but we for sure ending with our own special place on the canvas.
time to make an r/place 2023 war video
Little did they know that France still existed as they did have a white flag at once
Did you know the white flag original meaning is "I surrender to French forces" ?
More than once! The actual standard white flag and well... the surrender flag
They've litteraly told to french community: "We surrender to you"
The word "Enough" was added because they didn't want the canvas to expand again. It was a message to the reddit mods
Why tho? Its like when you're starving and you say you dont want more food
Im so proud how fast your channel is growing and how so many people relate to you. Sending love!
Dude, this was such a great video! I remember watching r/place when the streamers took over, and the editing and all the history was correct, this was great, you just gained a sub
1% of the video: look at all these flags and amogus!!! 99%: french flag
Can't wait for "The r/place War (2023)"
I am honestly very proud of the French for being a part of our alliance. The arte Pixel Art was also pretty neat.
Here's the thing: There were actually 2 different french groups. The 'official' group that organized through discord and reddit, allying with Germany early on. And the streamer fans that followed that wannabe Napoleon on twitch, partly leaving the first group. Official french group was all good and organized and had nothing to do with the streamer french, that only came at the last expansion. Unfortunately, when that streamer war began, the muricans also attacked the official french flag. The german group (also organized through reddit and discord WITH german streamers that got their names on the german flags approved) had to stop what they were doing and to help save the original french flag that was bordering to us.
@@olgahein4384 actually the french streamer was present at the end of the 1st day but wasn't doing France stuff. The big flag started when all of french streamer decided to do something as a group. And since Kamet0 was already here and already known by ibai and other spanish streamer it was him that went doing negociation. Also everytime the french flag or german flag of officials sub reddit were attacked he sent some viewers at least help to put back the colors so pixel art could be rebuild quicker.
@@olgahein4384 I just found out about this r/place event and i have to say its a pretty awesome thing. And next time i will definitely take part in it. But this French/American-Spanish war was a bit to much for my taste. Some people took that way to seriously. So much they start insulting each other in youtube comments. Bring up how many wars thier country won in history and how great they are. Things that are not even related to this whole thing. I know, its the internet, but some people uff. Why cant people just have some fun. I have to say that the french flag in the corner was, lets say a bit ambitious. I did not needed to be that big, but on the other hand they managed to held it upright and thats the rules. And thats is also the interesting part, what is possible and what not. The German stuff was awesome, i saw the video from Mango and thats how i found out. Dude i could not belive something like that existed and i had to laugh a lot. All these funny interactions between neighbouring communitys were just amazing. The Belgian beer that the Bundesadler drank. Really cool stuff and great to see how random people can organize and ally to create and protect something together.
The osu community stood strong Not only we endured the attacks on ourselves, but we also defended star wars and hololive without having a formal alliance with them
It was so fun looking back at this. I was a part of the "gacha game alliance" which was just a bunch of gacha game subreddits drawing their logo's next to each other. There was actually quite a bit of cross-community infighting going on there. Primarily in groups not following the agreed upon blueprint and some games practicing coexistence with other projects while others overtook third parties entirely. I wasn't even paying attention to france because i was too busy helping fend off the void, which was a pretty universal fight.
Amazing video Chaze! The Avengers part was insane 🔥
it took me so long to track all those text layers
That Among Us poem was perfection watching this video I laughed so hard. Thank god I came back and watched this
streamers: **fighting against the french** r/foxholegame: **fighting against each other to colour in parts of their piece green or blue**
And when someone attacked them, they went nuts and f'd the attacker... Then went back to killing each other👍
@@starspace352 I still love that image that got leaked from Australia, which said not to attack foxhole in fear of not getting wiped out
@@emeryhenry1849 Wall Street Bets found out the hard way. If Foxhole players can stand in one place for hours holding the left mouse button, making guns and repeat, I don't actually know what people thought when attacking them...
This video deserves more viwes bro great editing & explanation.
Hornet being in r/Place is so amazing, I’m glad Hollow Knight got some representation
Great to see France resisted against a bunch of people who (by this video) just came off as arrogant
I was seeing this live and it was truly amazing
Nah they were just trolling around.
1:36: Myth's void in the lower left also didn't have a great time. They tried to expand into the To Be Continued sign, not realising that those guys were allied to the Germans. Myth's own twitch comment section got promptly invaded and occupied by them in response. Germany really was kind of the overpowered anime protagonist of this whole thing. You either made friends with 'em, got out of their way or got rolled over as they built their two Autobahns across the canvas and allied with most of the groups bordering them. 3:23: That's *Belgiums* flag. Horizontal Black-Red-Gold = Germany; Vertical Black-Gold-Red = Belgium
Well, the german streamers became part of the official german group. We were organized. We had charts. We had shifts. And we had better artworks. Unlike the french who mostly followed that wannabe Napoleon streamer and just ignored the official french group, that allied with us. That's why we only defended the official french flag that bordered ours and completely ignored whatever was happening to that bottom left stuff. Not our allies, not our problems. PS: We also occupied the live chat of EVERY streamer who thought it's a nice idea to mess with our allies or to draw stuff on our flag that didn't get approval from the group. That includes several of those US streamers, especially XQC. Maybe they got frustrated and hence went for that streamer alliance against the french streamer at the last day (they gave up on us on the first days).
Best part of r/place 2022: constantly having to stop people from truning the knight, hornet, the grub, and the radiance into sans
THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED YEAHHHH(great to have you back)
"The France flag is turning into the flag we're used to seeing boys" damn.
So glad I was apart of this event, will never forget it
Why isn’t it a thing we can always go and play? Bs
@@SethXB Cause it's internet history its gotta end at some point. Plus there are R/place knock offs that exists just never to the scale of activity that R/place experienced
I'm honestly just mad at the reddit mods for censoring NSFW work imagine how many peoples work was destroyed because the reddit mods are so sensitive they seemingly think that R/place has to be family friendly which honestly is extremely idiotic.
As a Canadian citizen people laughing at the canada meme in r/place makes me die inside
I was with the One Piece community throughout the whole thing, and we had a great relationship with France. France actually gave us a large portion of their flag so we could do some of our art on there, so when France was being attacked, us One Piece fans would help out. r/place was super fun, hope they do it again this year

You should make a video about the more smaller "battles" and defences of r/place. A lot of the indie game communities setup an entire alliance to defend their spots.
This was a great vid it deserves love your the goat chaze.
The editing is so clean dude
basically the Napoleonic wars💀

For once I actually feel sorry for France. The odds stacked against you but still you held. Well fought baguette boi.
#monpain
Canada’s attempt to make a flag was earnest but unfortunate
It's funny because. One : The screen R Place as the French Flag. Two : The satff of the RPlace left only the white color at the end, which caused the white void. Sooo your videos was very good.
Great to see you back Chaze
This was literally just France vs some dumb Streamers.
pretty much sums it up perfectly
Nope, it was actually one dumb french streamer with a Napoleon complex (that united a bunch of other french streamers and all their communities) vs. a bunch of american streamers who were already hella frustrated cause they all had to admit in front of Germany (cause the german streamers and their community were part of the official german r/place union, while the french streamers were doing their own thing and ignored the official french r/place group - who allied with Germany and Belgium and all of our allies).
This is one of my favorite KZhead videos to rewatch
As a French soldier, I fought since we had our big flag, then all French written FRANCE in white in the middle
Almost a year anniversary now what a journey this was
Can't wait for Part 2 (about r/Place 2023)
such a well made vid man
A lot of the small wars not talked about were so interesting. There was a feud between the UK and the trans flag, until they came up with an agreement and I found stuff like that so interesting to see what had happened
This was like a movie had to watch it twice
i remember getting pissed at turkey trying to cover up hornets needle and then they proceeded to vandalize hornet herself
great vid bro enjoyed it :)
3:23 "German's flag" (Belgium has left the chat) That was actually the flag of Belgium
0:41 I actually participated in defending the osu logo
The rhythms about the among us placements 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
800 more subs till 100k u are so close dude
Why are the French actually recreating the Napoleonic Wars?
Or ww1 Verdun
Imagine future wars are fought using computers and have people behind computers fighting
If that ever happens, then I think the French Empire may return lmao the french community litterally get Napoleon reincarnated into a streamer

Fun fact : the first french flag wasnt White it was a proposed flag to represent monarchy after the napoleonic wars ended
