"reddit, When this post is 10 minutes old, a button and timer will become active at /r/thebutton. The timer will count down from 60 seconds. If the button is pressed the timer will reset to 60 seconds and continue counting down. Only users logged into accounts created before 2015-04-01 can press the button. You may only press the button once. We can’t tell you what to do from here on out. The choice is yours. visit /r/thebutton"

What's everyone's position on this?

I didn't realize you could only click once and that you get flair for when you click. Now I feel immense shame for giving away my click so young.

There are groups dedicated to defending the button.

The whole thing is kind of genius.

reminds me kind of like that thing a few years ago, can't remember the name but there was a thread on here. there was some virtual ball or cube or something and people would just waste hours and hours clicking it because some new picture would show up once a whole layer was removed or something. ended up being hyped up and then some giant letdown, probably like this.

you get a colored circle by your name for pressing it and the longer you wait (and the closer the clock is to zero) you get different colors to signify that. they also say that whoever presses it last gets a gold circle or something

I pressed it immediately.

I don't even have a reddit account so I guess I'll miss out on all the fun!

It reminds me slightly of that 8march2003 website.

That site is now a porn site BTW.
