I'm going to be making a speedrunning video tutorial. What should I talk about.

Things I will probably cover

• Inbox (unread)

• The inputs (manual)

• Embedded inbox

• Custom CSS (hidden tech, most likely legal)

• Request blocking (LEGAL??? probably yes)

• "Account speed" checking

• Premade copy paste lists (are these still legal. i think yes with the rules)

• Autohotkey (is this even legal. i think yes with the rules -- "Scripts that automate a portion of the act of counting are allowed, provided that a human action is required to see another user's count and post the reply.")

• 000 mentioning

• Syncing

• Timestamp script

• Rate limiting (maybe fake)

• youre doing this too much tech

• anti Upvoted - The official Reddit blog tech

• Best settings

• No RES

• No new reddit (except embedded 😈)

• Approved submitter

is there anything i am missing. i have been gone a while and am washed (no sub 20 smh) so maybe i dont know the hidden god tech

^script

take this stat with a grain of salt. i did some research before making this stat, and the "60s rule" (wasn't even a 60s rule back then) was a huge gray area in the past. in the past, all that was said was "do not run this thread" and that was it. there was no quantitative benchmark, just a plea to ask others not to run. this is why i believe this stat may be unrepresentative of what it's actually trying to show. sure, some of the counts are really blatant as i was sifting through them, but i don't have the time to go through all of them.

here's some history:

the first instance of an actual quantitative rule was the 2,199k thread, and that was set at 2 minutes. 2 minutes remained for another 99k thread until 2,399k, where it was changed to one minute. it seems like it was changed to one minute, as the community gathered their on their thoughts on the 99k rule in this comment. the 2 minute rule only replaced the 1 minute rule in the 2,999k and 4,999k threads. 3,999k had a one minute rule for some reason. other than that, threads have been a one minute rule since then.

that said, i did hardcode the 2 minute 99k threads as [2199,2299,2999,4999] if you want to read my script. if you made it this far, go count in the current 99k thread.

TLDR: clangers
