From Netflix to Disney+Hotstar, everyone has joined the "Binod" trend. The internet is flooded with sarcastic and hilarious 'Binod' memes.

But you must be wondering "who is Binod" and "why is he trending?". Let us fill you in.

Binod is the first name of a person named "Binod Thakur." He has a YouTube account with no videos of his own. His YouTube activity is limited to watching videos and commenting his name "Binod" under them.

Simple, right? Then why is everyone going crazy over this?

It all started when a YouTube channel by the name "Slayy Point" uploaded a video about weird comments posted on Indian YouTube channels. Titled "Why Indian Comments Section is Garbage (BINOD)," the video talked about all the bizarre comments the content creators of the channel, Abhyudaya Mohan and Gautami Kawale, receive on their videos.

That's when they noticed a comment dropped in by a user named Binod Tharu. "Binod," that's what his comment read. And what's more interesting is that the comment received several likes.

Sensing a perfect opportunity for memes, Twitter users, putting their creative minds to work, soon started sharing all sorts of tweets using the name as the hashtag. Internet latched on to it so much that from police forces to brands, everyone joined the Binod meme bandwagon.
