Reminds me of TetriNET. That game was awesome.

Doesn't work on Chrome/MacOS. Go for Quick Game and then Got It (which is slightly off the bottom of the page) and then... nothing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Particularly a Tetris 99 clone, Nintendo's switch online tetris.

Not really, it does more than Tetris 99, and the main match making mode is 1v1 not 1v98. It's not the only Tetris game with big lobbies. An earlier popular one is https://jstris.jezevec10.com/

Are there people using bots to play this? I played in one of the 100 player matches and the top players were just ridiculous.

Nope, some of the best players in the world hang out in Quick Play, and they're simply built different.

You have to wait until the current set of players are eliminated and a new match starts.

Quite OT: how do people get adsense (or other advertisers) on apps/games like these? I have a few apps that I would love to try an monetize but whenever I apply for adsense I get rejected for "lack of content".

Not sure how applicable it would be to your use case, but TETR.IO uses a service called AdinPlay for monetisation.

dope game.....im curious what the architecture of the web app is.

The game client is built with PixiJS, and otherwise mostly uses vanilla JS. The backend is built with Node.js, and the game uses a custom WebSocket protocol called Ribbon.

In fact, there's a whole list of open source dependencies at https://tetr.io/about/acknowledgements/.
