As the domain registrant of the Paedobaptism.org and InfantBaptism.org domains, Brantley followed a suggestion from a moderator in the 1689.com's Reformed Baptist Discord Server, to have the domains redirect visitors to the music artist Rick Astley's well-known music video ''Never Gonna Give You Up'' (which is commonly referred to as a "Rick Roll" or "Rick Rolling"). | As the domain registrant of the ''Paedobaptism.org'' and ''InfantBaptism.org'' domains, Brantley followed a suggestion from a moderator in the 1689.com's Reformed Baptist Discord Server, to have the domains redirect visitors to the music artist Rick Astley's well-known music video ''Never Gonna Give You Up'' (which is commonly referred to as a "Rick Roll" or "Rick Rolling"). | ||
In the Summer of 2023, this prank first began to be popularized when Brantley shared and commented on an [[Infant Baptism]] meme that was shared by the well-known online content creator and podcast [[The Chorus In The Chaos]].

Brantley later acquired the domain ''Paedocommunion.org'' and set up the domain to redirect to be a Rick Roll as well. | ||
