Mine was one of only two responses. Andy explained he kept posting simply because he enjoyed contributing to discussions, even if he wasn't getting anything back. Comparing his year of social silence to his day of fame, Andy said it was "absolutely worth it".

The only restriction was speed: the algorithm allowed each redditor to alter just one pixel every five minutes. Place had been active for about twenty minutes when I stopped by, and Wardle was huddled over his laptop, frantically refreshing dozens of tabs.
So far, the square was mostly blank, with a few stray dots blinking in and out of existence. But redditors were making plans in the comments and, in true Reddit fashion, clinging to those plans with cultish intensity.
The Blue Empire was conspiring to turn the whole square blue; the Red Empire vowed to make it red; already, they were on a war footing. Other groups planned elaborate messages, fractal patterns, and references to various memes. A multi-partisan group—leftists, Trump supporters, patriotic libertarians, and pre-political teen-agers—decided to draw an American flag in the center of the square.
Wardle went to great lengths to show me that Place was a pure democracy—the algorithm was designed so that, once it went live, all he could do was watch, along with everyone else. Now that he was watching, he seemed deeply nervous. The community takes that and does all sorts of creative things with it. He paused. The upper-left corner was a choppy, flickering purple, as the Blue Empire and the Red Empire battled for dominance.
Lunch was served: a shrimp-and-lentil salad and a vegan bean fricassee. People stood in the common area, holding paper plates, watching a live feed of Place on a wall-mounted TV. He pointed to a section of the screen. As we watched, one swastika was erased and another was modified to become a Windows 95 logo. Eventually, the swastika-makers got bored and moved on.
At one point, the American flag caught on fire; the fire was stamped out, and the Reddit employees cheered. Toward the end, the square was a dense, colorful tapestry, chaotic and strangely captivating. In the final hours, shortly before the experiment ended and the image was frozen for posterity, BlackVoid launched a surprise attack on the American flag. A dark fissure tore at the bottom of the flag, then overtook the whole thing.
For a few minutes, the center was engulfed in darkness. Then a broad coalition rallied to beat back the Void; the stars and stripes regained their form, and, in the end, the flag was still there.
The final image contained no visible hate symbols, no violent threats, not even much nudity. Late in the day, Wardle emerged from hiding, poured himself a drink, and pushed back his hood.

Apollo is by far the most-used app on my phone and now I have the ScreenTime reports to prove it. It is fast and smooth and packed with features. I especially love that I can pick the theme I want, change the icon, and remove ads! Today the developer released an update adding a bunch of new features that require a very reasonable seems underpriced to be honest monthly subscription, and like a true bro he has the option to unlock it for life with a onetime purchase!
I hate monthly and even yearly subscriptions so I especially appreciated this option. All that by itself should convince you that this app is worth it, but the thing that really seals the deal is the developer. He is amazing. I tried 3 different apps on iOS before finally giving Apollo a shot, and that was that.
The ability to map your own gestures for different actions within the app is awesome too. Apollo also has its own subreddit, and Christian the sole developer is very active in it and is constantly adding features requested there.
