Ranboo beats jschlatt, Spifey, BadBoyHalo to get on NYC billboards in Times Square RanbooAfter racking up more than 200,000 likes on a Twitter reply, Minecraft streamer Ranboo was featured front and center on a billboard in New York City\u2019s Times Square. On June 13 a the Social AR Platform ARKH put out a tweet that said they would throw whichever reply managed to get the most likes up on a billboard in Times Square. After Ranboo replied with a gif of his in-game character in a heart-shaped locket, Minecraft stans put their weaponized social media capabilities to work and racked up around 250,000 likes in just a few hours, which was more than enough to dominate the competition. On the morning of Sunday, June 20, after beating out other content creators like jschlatt, Spifey, and BadBoyHalo, Ranboo tweeted the full billboard to the world, but just a simple sign it was not. Instead, anywhere up to five screens at once were displaying the streamer\u2019s tweet, as well as his Minecraft character in one form or another, so Ranboo can actually say he really did \u201ctake over Times Square,\u201d at least for a bit. FANTASTIC DAY FOR THE RANBOO COMMUNITY!!! pic.twitter.com\/kg1KtMQRWd \u2014 Ranboo (@Ranboosaysstuff) June 20, 2021 \u201cFANTASTIC DAY FOR THE RANBOO COMMUNITY\u201d the Minecraft creator triumphantly tweeted when the billboards went live, and a fantastic day it was, as he officially joined Corpse Husband in the very exclusive club of having his online persona blasted over one of the busiest intersections in the U.S. If you remember, back in March of 2021, Corpse also managed to get his own billboard in Times Square through a competition run by GymShark, and, like Ranboo, he was also featured on a variety of screens around the street.
