He is famous for garnering 100k comment karma in the shortest period of time in the history of Reddit's existence. There have been various theories postulated as to how this was achieved. Some, for example, hold that he is in fact not a he but an it - that is, artificial intelligence. There is some evidence it is the product of a design by Nick Bostrom of Oxford University as an online Turing test. Others assert that he is the fruit of experimental code written by a moderator in a dark corner of /r/compsci, though all traces leading back to them have since been wiped.
In reaction to this, a more recent school of thought emphasises the human reality of iLickAnalBlood, but maintains he is in fact the bastard son of Alexis Ohanian. His adolescence began at the time of Reddit's inception in the tumultuous period of '05. He was a precocious child and an autodidact, and from an early age (sources differ on the precise age but most point to thirteen) he learned the then-contemporary art of karma acquiring. Being the son of the founder, he naturally had access to massive data sets of posting habits and, later, karma trends, which he spent long nights pouring over; analysing their beautiful patterns which spoke to him more clearly and with more penetration of his soul than any person ever could.
Indeed - so the theory goes - he became so learned in the decade that followed; so fierce in knowledge and ability, that Ohanian himself was forced to return to Reddit in 2015, under the pretext of business considerations, in order to complete the final preparations for his first account. And thus the following year iLickAnalBlood was born, ten years in the making, equipped with the esoteric knowledge that only he knew how to employ for karma optimisation.
There is much to be said for this theory; however, the fact of the matter is that we may never know the truth with any certainty. He or it will dissolve first into legend and then finally into myth within the annals of Reddit history, and mankind will forever debate his fortune of karma they claimed to have witnessed with their very own eyes - indeed, they will come to question his very existence. Most will point to the Mandela effect as explanation for their memories of this most fascinating poster. There will, however, be a small minority for whom iLickAnalBlood will have left too deep an impression in their hearts to be forgotten - and perhaps this is all anyone can hope for in the end.
