I like that they were able to coordinate enough to make "fuck spez" so visible (plus the "spez ist ein H*rensohn" = "spez is a son of a b*tch"). I just wish that they focused on the big picture - Spez himself is just a tool (in both senses) for Reddit Inc., and it's the whole corporation that should be screwed over.

Yes, but it's also a symbol. And there seems to be enough of a consensus in the zeitgeist, that that message appears to be somewhat self-organizing as a common sentiment. For something chaotic like /r/place that sort of undercurrent is a boon.

It's easier to organise people towards a "fuck spez" than the other alternatives, I agree. But at the end of the day, a symbol is just a symbol - without anything directing people towards action, it doesn't do much. And nationalists are already covering the message here and there with their flags.

Like the Occupy Wall street movement. It got a lot of attention, organized a lot of people, and accomplished nothing. People were like "what is this for?" And the answer was pretty much "we're angry!", So the reply was just "okay..."
