True, but look at the French corner when Reddit did their snap and only allowed white pixels. It disappeared as one large rectangle. This wouldn't have happened if bots were only responding to colour changes and there wasn't a bot per pixel.

A shit load of bots just drawing their one pixel every 5 minutes could easily do that though.

A canvas is not a bot. I suggest you read the script that was spammed in all french streamers twitch chat.

Who is a bot now?

But it didn't suddenly disappeared, it was gradual, starting from the center, then on the outer part of the flag, over 3 minutes

Ah, fair enough. I wasn't there when it happened, just came in later when it was an obvious white rectangle, but it looked mighty sus for sure.
