I imagine a lot of people are refusing to do it because of engagement. people, whether protesting or not, are engaging with /r/place, which is the only reason Spez brought it back, to get engagement numbers up.
Because you don't protest Reddit by driving up engagement on their shitty, distraction, game.
Some peoole here forget (or never realized) that the John Oliver thing is a protest. It's meant to drive DOWN engagement on one of Reddit's biggest subreddits, and judging by the whiny, pissed-off, comments in each post swearing off the subreddit, that particular goal is being achieved.

Because /r/place is Reddit Administration driving up traffic and views and not giving a fuck about actual problems/actively ignoring them.
What would helping them drive up traffic accomplish? LESS than the Oliver memes.
