The Button was a meta-game and social experiment hosted by Reddit that featured an online button and countdown timer that would reset each time the button was pressed. The experiment was hosted on the social networking website Reddit beginning on April 1 and was active until June 5, 2015. The game was started by a Reddit administrator and was presumed to be an April Fools' joke. The Button garnered enthusiasm from Reddit users worldwide, attracting clicks from over one million unique user accounts.〔 Various websites, browser extensions, and mobile applications were created for tracking the live statistics of the Button and enabling users to visit the Button when the timer dropped below a certain threshold. The Button's countdown timer reached zero several times due to technical issues, but on June 5, 2015, the countdown timer reached zero in the absence of any issue, and so the experiment officially ended. == Overview == The specific Reddit community (subreddit) for the Button had the standard Reddit appearance but with a molly-guarded button next to a 60-second countdown timer at the top of the page. When the button was clicked, the countdown would reset. The button could only be pressed once by each Reddit account, and only accounts that were created before the event started on April 1 were allowed to press it. There was also a cumulative count of all unique users who had clicked the button since its launch. All users received a small dot called a "flair" next to their username. Users who had not pressed the button had a gray dot, and users who had pressed it had a dot colored based on the state of the timer when the button was pressed. When hovering the cursor over this colored dot, the time in seconds on the counter when the user clicked the button would be displayed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Button (Reddit)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
