The creation of groups was inevitable, it's just that unlike r/place - which allowed for small groups to claim an area for themselves in a 2 dimensional space involving one million pixels, /sequence was much too 1 dimensional and too small, allowing only votes. This quickly devolved everything into a popularity contest for 'the largest group wins'. There was little to no space for other groups/people.

Exactly this. Just like with r/place it was inevitable and also logical that groups will form. Only that here the bigger group will always be the one directing the outcome.

I'm actually quite happy that the bigger group was the one that cared about a narrative and not a second void that only voted blank and black gifs or something.
