Binod (Hindi: बिनोद, Bengali: বিনোদ {{)[1] was a meme that became viral in India in August 2020.[2] It originated from a comment by a user with the screen name Binod, who had added only the word "Binod" in the comment section of a YouTube video. This was followed by a video uploaded to YouTube, mocking "Binod" and YouTube comments sections in general.[3][4]
Background[edit | edit source]
On 15 July 2020, the YouTube channel Slayy Point uploaded a video called "Why Indian Comments Section is Garbage (BINOD)". In the video, the creators Abhyudaya Mohan and Gautami Kawale made fun of a user who had written a comment saying only "Binod", which was subsequently "liked" by ten users then seven users. [5][6]

The video triggered an online trend among Indians as they typed their names as comments or reviews; later, the term "Binod" started being used in social media posts and comments. The name soon turned into a meme; on live streams of YouTube videos, "Binod" was spammed in the live chats.[7]
The name Binod initially sparked memes on Paytm, Twitter, Mumbai Police, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Tinder, Airtel, Disney+ Hotstar and Swiggy, which also posted Binod memes after the emergence of the trend.[8] Paytm temporarily changed its Twitter username after a request from a user.[9]
