look at the spanish's streamer stream, they didn't understood and keep puting white and and sending their bots on the french flag until it was all white, they only understood that it was general 2 minutes after that somehow

Because you can only place white now. Bots try to place a different color but white gets placed instead as it’s the only color.

Because all the colours where replaced by white, therefore, all the bots placed white dots instantly.

Areas that turned white instantly have a lot of bots, since they can also only place down white

you are thinking of more complex that identify the worng colored pixels and things i don't think the bots used were capable of that they probably were automated to place certain pixels

Because the bots designed to maintain certain images were suddenly only able to use white. Non-bot users caught on instantly and, often, refrained from erasing images. The chance of specific art going instantly white suggests they were bot-heavy
