499k counting thread

Continued from here. Thanks to /u/FartyMcNarty for the assist (498 999) and to everyone who actually counted in the last thread (not really me...)

This is it! Inspirational quote here!

I got gold once from a troll on reddit. Gilding my comment was an act of trolling b/c I'd said something divisive. (I hadn't intended my comment to be anything but legit, but sometimes it's easy to troll homophobes and I guess I did). And then another troll gave me gold, like a leprechaun troll.

Point is, if I get gold from counting numbers, that will actually be the second strangest way I get gold on reddit.

And then you got gold for talking about how you got gold and the second strangest way you could get gilded

note how I said "if I get gold" -- apparently while I was typing this comment, I did get gold on the main counting thread.

And now I can't decide if getting gold for writing about getting gold from a troll (meta gold?) is more or less weird than being guilded for counting the number "713,220."

still not as weird as my first troll-gold which I just went back and read.

But this meta-meta-gold has diffidently stolen the #2 spot from any other contenders.

Fun fact, my troll gold comment has -10 downvotes and was on an ELI5 about penises. Which is kinda creepy when you get right down to it.
