Reddits "the Button" I love it

What's interesting is that there's a heavy streak of people pushing just before green starts, but the other heavy streaks are just after the start of yellow or orange.

Its over now with no real explanation as to what the point was.

It went up April Fool's Day, and they tricked thousands into a pointless game for two months. That's a hell of a joke, and that was the whole point.

did the timer run out (no one pushed before 60 secs up) or did they just take it down?

Honestly, this data is fascinating and should be used in a good article about this phenomenon.

The timer ran to 0 multiple times before the Button was taken down. Apparently there were no consequences to letting the timer run out.
