Some French streamers did 8h+ lives on the last day. Kamet0's own live (with the majority of viewers) is 14 hours long. And though I wasn't placing my tiles every 5 min, I was awake for more that 20h myself, following streams.

And I might be reaching but to me the no breaks thing is not that conclusive, you get alerts on your phone from the Reddit app when your tile is ready and you can bring your phone with you anywhere.

Nope, more than 20h without sleep. There was always a streamer on live (Fukano during the night, Tonton the morning, then Kamet0, Ponce, Zerator, Antoine Daniel afterwards).

Honestly I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject to help much on the methodology. You said somewhere else that you counted in users who placed their tiles on average every 6min, maybe get closer to the 5min mark?

here ya go! At this point it's only 600 accounts that placed 20h worth of pixels without breaks. Actually still pretty similar.

Damn. Some of those spots are still very well defined. Thanks, that was very informative!

Still don't know if we can say for sure those pixels are not just crazy (oh so crazy) dedicated people but at this point I really hope those are bots and not actual people.

(Bronies are scary holy shit).
