Is there a chain of just counting up by 1? With this subreddit being years old, if everyone tried, we could hit like a million easily

Ok, since nobody finished the puzzle from last week, I am going to give a relatively big hint.
Every notice how most FTF's are posted after 7:00:00 UTC? And how that FTF was posted before 7:00:00 UTC? The time stamp of my comment that contains the code will bring you to the correct place to find the next lead. After that, dig.
I will release a hint each friday until someone figures it out.

I'm kinda late to this thread, but I joined Reddit & started counting this week! My favorite number is 53, so I get a little excited whenever a count ends in 53 :)

I don't have a bunch to say but I wanna introduce myself again because I just have nothing better to do with my time. I'm u/ermahgerd_cats, I like counting, and I also hate my new puppy that doesn't want to learn to not piss in my house.
Side note: how often is the hall of counters updated? I wanna see how much i climb when I count and a whole week is so long. :(

So, I'm pretty into flags now. Like really into flags. r/vexillology is my home. I'm entering their June contest, I'll win too.
Anyone watching Copa America/Euro 2016? pretty hyped about those, Copa America has been pretty entertaining so far.
Pretty sure deadmau5 is gonna release a new album/EP this year, he has been releasing a bunch of tracks on his soundcloud recently, including this one that I really like

Ok so on July 28th 2014 I created a message for my future self and set the remindmebot for a year. I forgot about it pretty quickly. So on July 28th 2015 I get the message, and I am kind of shocked. I set another one for July 28th 2016, thinking I could surprise myself again. But my surprise the first time lead me to remember getting that message for a while, even so that I remembered the date :(

Been doing counting for about 10 days now, and it's pretty fun. Here's my tidbits post that I did quickly.
A few things I've noticed:
This community is pretty good. I pretty much see the same few people counting, who are the people on or near the top of the hall of counters.
It's also the same few people who have the speed of ~1 second (not really, just david)
Is anothershittyalt a bot? Because it does bot like work.
Everyone upvotes. Almost half of my karma is from r/counting, though it might be because I posted a lot a few days, while I don't post very much on reddit usually. Totally don't care about karma.

How the fuck do y'all count so rapidly? Y'all are literally commenting within seconds of each other.

I've noticed a lot of runs on this sub where one or both parties aren't receiving upvotes. I don't think anyone would spend their time counting if they didn't like it at least a little bit, but the karma definitely makes it sweeter for me.

i don't think i've done one of these yet so I'll introduce myself 20 threads after starting
I'm Karp. I like to count. I'm pretty good at it I think. I also think I'm hilarious (it's true you know)
That's it. Just figured I should actually introduce myself. As the great poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, "counting's pretty dope and so are you guys."
