Endless Paradigm

In the past week over 300,000 people had gotten their hopes up for this guy who claimed to have an untethered jailbreak for iOS 6 on all iDevices and that he would release it on the 22nd. Many Jailbreak devs had said it was fake but most of the people ignored the warning. He had posted a "proof" video yesterday and people were unsure it was legit. He then said that he was going to release it last night instead of the 22nd which made people even more excited. at 8:50 a "download link" was posted on his site. and over 300,000 people clicked on it  within 2 minutes. And instead of finding a jailbreak, they got rickrolled.
shortly after the rickroll his twitter was closed and his website said this
DreamJB was intended as a social experiment. In the matter of a mere week, over 20,000 people followed @DreamJailbreak on twitter.

'This website had over 300,000 unique viewers. People believed in a "jailbreak" that originally provided no proof at all.

There are services out there that charge for jailbreaks that are intended to be free. Imagine what could have happened should this have gone for sale?

The provided proof tonight was intended as a final boost to the viewers before this message was released.

Let this be a lesson to the public. PLEASE be careful when it comes to jailbreak solutions that are advertised outside of the prominent and accepted dev teams. Do some research and follow them on Twitter now.

Dismiss any claims made by anybody, unless it has been confirmed from the dev team members.

Should a real jailbreak ever surface, they'll be the first to give it the OK.

This experiment is exactly as it was named. Simply just a dream.

Cheers."

I'm so happy I just got an android phone, yeesh, I remember when this was a big deal.

I'm surprised how many people buy an iDevice to jailbreak it shortly after...

My hero.

People should have known better than to fall for something that was too good to be true...
From what I hear, there were known devs in the iOS scene who said this was fake way before the reveal.

I guess sometimes people just believe what they want to be real.

By uncle's cousin's friend's brother said that he saw a post on Reddit that went to a video on Youtube that gave him a link on some forum that had a video of someone running Windows 8 on Android in a virtual machine running on an iPhone 5, running Crysis at max settings at 120+ fps. Here's the link. (DO NOT CLICK)

By the way, am I the only one who noticed that the browser's name is reversed in this site's page title?
