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.

Recently, country's top lender State Bank of India (SBI) also used Binod to spread awareness about online safety while banking. “Only if everyone behaved like #Binod when online, there would be lesser fraud reports."
