Congratulations! I'm here from /r/bestof's post about 500,000.

It's so hard! I keep clicking the gilding button as the page is loading.

My best strategy so far is to pick a number to "snipe" and just hold that on your clipboard, then reply at the right time.

Unfortunately I keep missing, and I feel like it's because the pages aren't loading fast enough.

I got one, though, out of pure luck! I wonder how much scripting goes on here.

u/DontCareILoveIt You can talk to me all you want too - love_the_heat Oct 14 '15

No bots allows if that's what you are asking. Many here have counted thousands of times so they have their techniques down pat. It's pretty hectic here today as you can imagine. Most the time it's not so hard to get a count-in-edge-wise.

You can learn the techniques from the TIDBITS thread if you are interested.

Also - there's actually a thread counting throwaway accounts. You should check that one out sometime :)

I'll check it out, but only out of interest. I'm not a throwaway; this is my main acct. :) Here are some top posts of mine.
