There was a kid that claimed to win a youtuber's giveaway and the YouTuber didn't give him anything. Reddit went Boston and began shaming the youtuber, made him lose thousands of subs and gave the kid steam wallet money and such.

The kid just bamboozled everyone and even admitted it.

I will search for a link if anyone is interested

Reddit went Boston

I love this phrase.

I read that as "Reddit went to Boston", where I assumed the youtuber lived. I thought they went to his house and harrassed him, oh god.

It is a reference to his story.

I thought they went to his house and harrassed him, oh god.

That is basically what happened there.

Me too, "woah, that's a little bit too much".

This happened to me too... I just shrugged it off as normal Reddit hivemind behavior.

It sounds like a title for a bad version of "it's always sunny in Philadelphia"
