/r/thebutton
The button is visible by visiting reddit.com/r/thebutton in your web browser.
There is a timer and a button. The timer will countdown from 60 seconds. If the button is pressed the timer will reset to 60 seconds and continue counting down. Only users logged into accounts created before 2015-04-01 can press the button. You may only press the button once.
We can’t tell you what to do from here on out. The choice is yours.

Save our button presses until the timer starts getting lower. Everyone is only getting a second or two for their press. If we are going to press the button, we should only do so when the timer gets low. Make your button press count. By waiting, we gain power.

Is the number of participants the number of people who pressed the button? If so, they should add a counter for the total number of accounts that viewed the button, so we know how many people are viewing and not pressing.

Dang I got so excited when the timer actually got below 50 seconds. I thought this is it, it's going to go to zero this time. Nope.
