The Button's countdown timer reached zero several times due to technical issues, but was reset since button press attempts were still being made. 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 garnered enthusiasm from Reddit users worldwide, attracting clicks from over one million user accounts. The game was started by a Reddit administrator. The experiment was hosted on the social networking website Reddit beginning on 1 April 2015 ( April Fools' Day) and was active until 5 June 2015, the first time that no user pressed the button before the timer reached zero.
The experiment was created by Josh Wardle, also known as powerlanguage.
The Button was an online meta-game and social experiment that featured an online button and 60-second countdown timer that would reset each time the button was pressed.
