Why is Binod trending?
Binod came under the spotlight when a YouTube channel, Slayy Point, shared a video where creators Abhyudaya and Gautami Kawale, decided to roast the comments section of Indian YouTube videos.
The video titles “Why Indian Comments Section is Garbage (BINOD)," published on July 15, highlighted a comment from a user named Binod, which simply had his first name "Binod" in the comments section.
