Remember Binod, the hashtag that went massively viral on micro-blogging site Twitter around August this year? Well if you don't, it is okay. Here's the back story.
Well if you don't, it is okay. Here's the back story. So when 'Slayy Point' -- a famous YouTube channel run by Abhyudaya and Gautami -- uploaded a video titled 'Why Indian Comments Section is Garbage (BINOD)'. The video explored some of the strangest comments they received on their posts.
One comment from a certain person with username Binod Tharu simply read 'Binod', and that comment received several likes.
And from there began a meme fest of sorts with police departments, shopping brands and netizens swinging away using #Binod.
So much so that Twitter has now called it the most tweeted meme on Twitter in India this year.
