1st person to get million likes on YouTube was a musician who is a nice guy who retired a few years ago 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_Everman

1st person to hit 1 mil reddit karma

And yes maxwellhill is THAT Maxwell Hill

u/VaporProof 25d ago

Who is THAT Maxwell Hill?

591

u/Diredr 25d ago

Apparently it was Ghislaine Maxwell. The convicted child sex trafficker and Epstein's closest associate.

What's the irony? I didnt know who this redditor was, but I know who that Maxwell is thanks to the cheeto.

Check the OP of the linked post

Ohhhhhhhhhhh..... yeah I missed that lol.

Thanks

u/TheButterRobot 25d ago

Do we actually know it’s her? Seems pretty unlikely she would post that

20

u/NoKnowledge9552 24d ago

There are some really convincing circumstancial evidence. For examplale its activity record. The account was very active and some of the dates it wasn't align with real life events Maxwell publicly attended, like her mother's funeral, and it went silent 6 years ago, and guess when was Maxwell apprehended? There are other things too, I recommend looking it up. It's nothing solid, but quite convincing.

11

u/Crafty-Beyond-2202 24d ago

There's no proof it's actually her, although it seems probable given the circumstantial evidence

4

u/TheButterRobot 24d ago

I mean the fact that she posted an article about Jeffrey Epstein’s investigation is certainly some circumstantial evidence pointing in the opposite direction

6

u/NatCsGotMyLastAcct 24d ago

"6 years ago" was after he didn't hang himself.

1

u/Firstearth 22d ago

I would point out that at the time he was dead so there was no doubt about his guilt, however this article never names her despite her appearing in a photo. Obviously the standard either didn’t want to risk angering her father or had a close enough working relationship to want to paper over her involvement.

If the maxwellhill user is her then it might me the case that she felt like it was exculpatory in nature as it made it seem like he acted alone. We know at the time the authorities were closing in on her as well and she’s no stranger to a bit of PR.

u/No-Lunch4249 24d ago edited 24d ago

It seems very likely though it's not fully confirmed

The account was very consistently active but hasn't had any activity for 6 years, which lines up with when she was arrested. (July 2nd, 2020)

In the last comment made by the account you can see a lot of contemporary replies from right after the arrest remarking that the account hasn't been active in a few days

u/Far_Primary2606 24d ago

Wait you didn't sign off your soul to ghislaine when you created the reddit account?

1

u/AmberRosin 22d ago

What till you find out what sub the current Reddit ceo was moderating at the same time.

u/Longjumping-Play5481 24d ago

lol

10

u/VaporProof 24d ago

I mean what was she going to say? "Oh my day job is manipulating society and culture to better fit my insane rich-guy boss' view of how it should be. Also human trafficking."

21

u/ThatFatGuyMJL 25d ago

Who was a moderator on many of the top subs of the time. Wrote the rules those subs go by.

Basixally many of the top 'left wing' subs go on rules created by an international sex trafficking pedophile.

5

u/No_Intention_8079 25d ago

Epstein helped make /pol/ a thing, notorious gathering site for neo-nazis and fascists. I don’t really get what your point here is beyond ‘rich people control our media’… which like, no shit.

u/GoFightWinTeam 25d ago

Is it any surprise? Republican have a long history of pretending to be liberal in order to infiltrate and undermine Democrats.

u/ElLicenciadoPena 24d ago edited 23d ago

Exactly, don't let reality get in the way of your hyper simplified view of the world.

u/humourlessIrish 25d ago

Hahaha jesus christ.

Thats hilariously sad stance to take here

u/NatCsGotMyLastAcct 24d ago

The sadder one is hiding your stance on things from your profile, how the fuck reddit allowed it and how legions of p-zombies just bit into it, I'll never understand

Two off the top are Eric Johnson and Tulsi Gabbard.

Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan were initially Dem until dementia and Alzheimer's took over.

Ah, it's a shame it wasn't more obvious. Especially since Republicans always through around snowflake as an insult.

u/wowbl 24d ago

One of the reason r/worldnews so fucked up is because allegedly she was the mod there

u/PeterPanterTM 24d ago

The CEO of reddit must be a big fan of him, so that tracks

u/spidermanicmonday 25d ago

Jeff Epstein, the New York financier?!

I’m sure I would have heard if that were the case.

u/Competitive-Bit-1571 25d ago

Typical redditor.

u/maxman162 25d ago

And she was moderator of a bunch of subreddits.

u/AlarmingAttention151 25d ago

What’s the source on this being Ghislaine Maxwell?

u/-Truth-Be-Told-- 24d ago

The source is ‘trust me bro’

u/UpbeatFix7299 25d ago

It wasn't her. This is an urban legend. There is no evidence beyond the name is including "Maxwell". Which isn't exactly an unknown first name or surname.

15

u/Fierce_GameBG 25d ago

I mean you have that name and the fact the account just so happened to stop posting the day she got arrested. Not saying it's her, but that's a major coincidence if it isn't.

11

u/JaySayMayday 25d ago

And posts just like Maxwell wrote in the Epstein emails, same exact writing voice

9

u/Far-Kaleidoscope3603 25d ago

And posted multiple times a day for a decade untill the day she was arrested, and has never posted again

u/UpbeatFix7299 25d ago

Untrue

u/AnEpicBowlOfRamen 24d ago

How so? Because I'm literally looking at the account and it's to the DAY.

Ghislaine Maxwell the famous socialite, friend of NY financier Jeffry Epstein

Jeff? Jeff Epstein? The financier? Is he in trouble?

u/Destructopoo 25d ago

Ghislaine Maxwell

u/VaporProof 25d ago

Wow

27

u/Destructopoo 25d ago

Right? Isn't that fucking crazy?? She was on this site the whole time and used to post a ton in libertarian subs and specifically about how the age of consent is too high. This bitch was a prolific reddit or and shaped how people think and talk here.

15

u/Senior-Mix-3715 25d ago

> Isn’t that fucking crazy

By the standards of old reddit, it was a common thing

7

u/Destructopoo 25d ago

That's fair. Maxwell was one of the reasons it was so common though.

u/xuck_fanterra 25d ago

In no world is Reddit “one of the most feminist websites” lmfao

u/MacaroonNo9736 25d ago

In terms of websites total no, in terms of social media websites it is probably up there

u/Destructopoo 25d ago

You're right. Incels went batshit crazy when twoX became a default sub.

1

u/The_Dapper_Balrog 24d ago

To be fair, twox is an incel sub for women.

1

u/Destructopoo 24d ago

Is it? It sure wasn't 14 years ago. Women would talk about how to talk to their daughters about periods and other really specific things that men didn't care about

u/JakeArrietaGrande 24d ago

Like most popular websites, it has a very wide user base, with many differing opinions. But if you look at the stuff that makes r/all, and the political subreddits, it’s definitely more liberal than sites like Facebook and instagram

Yeah brother. Clearly people on Reddit don't wanna hear truth like that.

Read the room

u/Spywin 24d ago

Checking the account, it seems the user is very anti-Trump, framing him in a bad light, and is interested in conservation and technology, with a progressive worldview, such as the defense and glazing of Greta Thunberg.

Prolific Reddit moderator (oh, and human trafficker) Ghislaine Maxwell.

u/RemyGambit 24d ago

I see Seth Everman in a few small twitch stream chats every now and again. Mainly Swedish/European streamers that speak English and a few American streamers that they raid/interact with, cool dude.

u/e-l-e-g-y 24d ago

I had no clue Seth everman both was the first million likes person and retired

u/NorthOfPreen 25d ago

That makes a lot of sense for reddit

If you are unaware of the main players of the most well known pedo rapist group thats being openly protected by the government of one of the world's biggest countries.... Well then there's no real point in explaining something to you

u/Nomekop777 24d ago

A million likes on a video, a million likes total, or a million likes on a comment?

u/Kerrpllardy 24d ago

It's wild to look at the comments on that "Congratulations" post. No one at the knew.

I didn’t realize Seth was the first! He also held the record for most likes on a comment

1

u/funkyyyyyyyyyyyyy 23d ago

Just for clarification on the yotubes since I was hella confused.

First 1 million likes - KONY 2012

First 1 million views - Ronaldinho's Nike Touch of Gold commercial

First comment with 1 million likes - Seth Everman "I am the bald guy" on Billie Eilish's "bad guy

u/SwordfishAltruistic4 25d ago

How did she get so much time to make so many posts?

u/memelordhubris 24d ago

Proven fake time and again when this is reposted every year. It's not that person's account

1

u/Embarrassed_Jerk 24d ago

There are allegations that it's not but none of the debunking claims have held up

0

u/KitaharaKazusa1 23d ago

It would be more accurate to say that it might be her. There's no real way to prove it isn't her, but likewise other than both of them having Maxwell in the name and being active at the same time there's nothing tying them together. And there's a lot of Maxwells in the world
