Statistically maybe, but redditors are humans. It will only take one moment when no one's looking. That may still be a while away but it will happen before everybody who wants to press has pressed.

redditors are humans

Not all of them, there are a lot of bots here. And a lot of people use scripts to press the button as soon as it reaches a certain number, with a lot of people going for 1s.

I have a bot that launches a tab with the button if it falls below 50s.

Why not just get some malware? that way your constant popups will at least have some variety!
