If you have spent the last week wondering why a certain "Binod" is trending on social media, we've got you covered with all the dope. Last week, Paytm even changed their Twitter handle name to "Binod", a move that sent brands and social media addicts in a tizzy.

It all started when the creators of the YouTube channel, Slayy Point, decided to make a video about the garbage that people post in the YouTube comment section. It was during their research that 22-year-olds, Gautami Kawale and Abhyudaya Mohan, came across a user called Binod Tharu, who instead of a comment, left behind his name after every video he watched. Just his name. The video took potshots at this gentleman and others who spout nonsensical poetic lines, leave behind question marks or list the names of their family members. But it was Binod that everyone took a fancy to. "Maybe, it's because the name itself is strange; not Vinod, but Binod—a name that sounds outdated. So, it's even funnier! He makes up for just 20 seconds of the original video. We are confused about how that caught on," says Kawale, who has known Mohan since they were schoolmates.
