So reddit is such an interesting place there's all these foreign pages of topics ranging from the humorous to the serious
There's important news and then there is important memes
It's really just a place for everybody to just enjoy an endless amount of posts on topics that they really enjoy
And then there's this subreddit
Okay, I know I know I usually talk about video games
But there's just some things that I find super fascinating on here and I just have to share with you guys
Okay
this
subreddit is
Very strange because it started off really small only like a thousand users and all it really was was just a big Thanos meme page
And you just kind of troll people and be like, no Thanos didn't do anything wrong
You would also just post pictures
Involving Thanos whenever there was something to do with balance or something to do with being cut in half
But it wasn't popular there was only like 10,000 people when I joined. I remember it being really small
I'm kind of just a niche little group. Just having a lot of fun playing around with it right here
Let me show you some examples of some of the earlier posts in the subreddit. Hella spoilers ahead
spoilers if you haven't seen Infinity War yet, what's wrong with you. instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the
Population perhaps it's time to control the population to allow the survival of the environment
Yeah, don't give David Attenborough the Infinity stones. I'm sorry little one, huh? I
Love this meme
Thanos just slaps the roof of the universe like this bad boy can only fit so many resources in it
Just heard a kid say your mama's so fat. Thanos had a snap twice the youth are in good hands
Oh, this one's topical. I'm sorry little Juan
Mmm, but that's messed up. Thanos is a hero for helping us end childhood hunger
Thanks, Denny's you got to just first appreciate the Twitter handle. They decided to give Thanos
What the fuck only half my squad showed up to my BD party pft fake friends. Oh
Yeah, I forgot, okay, so I think you get the point
So the point is the subreddit was just a mean thing. So it would make no sense for it to grow
So huge right? Well it has over
500,000 close to 600,000 subscribers at the time of making this video
You may be wondering how in the hell did it get to this point?
It was all because of one moderator by the name of the Jedi apprentice
He decided that it'd be a cool idea
if you just ban half of the sub and
This of course made the sub super popular a bunch of people were coming in from everywhere to get banned people were joining a subreddit
For the purpose of being banned from it
It is
actually stupid as hell but I love it and it's actually been kind of a fun experiment to see they announced that the day that
They're gonna ban
Everybody would be July 9 which by my calculation should be today when I upload this video?
They announced each day as an infinity stone day on the day of the soul stone
They also happen to make a sacrifice of one of the moderators and I'll show you the gif right now that they used
It's hilarious. Actually, I can't show you the gif, Disney just copyright strike to me
just know it's just the
Moderator being thrown off the cliff like Gomorrah. It's pretty funny. You just get to find it on reddit somehow
Sorry buddy. This subreddit has made headline news because it's gonna be the biggest ban and reddit history
However, in order to be banned you actually have to post something and/or comment
so a lot a lot of people are posting stuff all the time the vast majority of the posts are these petitions like
petition to let Josh Brolin
Press the button that will balance the sub
Petition to let benedict cumberbatch say this was the only way before the ban happens or even the petition to make tom holland
Say we don't want to go yet before the ban happens. Heck they even have an obligatory Stan Lee cameo
It's gotten so big that even the directors themselves the Russo brothers
Actually posted they want to get banned too
This is so fun to watch and I'm kind of upset that it's gonna kind of go away after the ban happens
Which is why I like I'm glad that all these little memes things that are created
it feels cool almost like a huge inside joke that we're all gonna enjoy for now and it's gonna make history as
Of uploading this video. It should be July 9th
2018 and that is the day of the ban and I'm not even sure if I made it or not. It's a 50/50 chance
It's literally a coin flip
But I will announce it on my Twitter @themacroshow in case you want to know if I made it or not
Yes
that is a shameless plug but I mean
When isn't a plug shameless but go ahead and leave in the comments if you actually joined the subreddit and if you made it out
alive
tell me in the comments if you wish you totally could have joined and
Participated in this huge event in reddit history. And with that I'm gonna leave you guys with Josh Brolin snapping at us redditors
See you guys later
Here we go ready
