r/LiveCounting is an Internet forum on Reddit where the participants engage in consecutive counting.

History
The subreddit started in 2014 when a few redditors over in r/counting tried to count to infinity. It turned out, however, that Reddit’s infrastructure wasn’t built for such incremental activities and some concessions needed to be made. While to this day people over in r/counting continue their march by splitting off into new threads once they reach around 1,000 comments, another segment of counters discovered they could count much faster, and higher than ever before using Reddit live threads. And thus, live counting was born. In October, 2018 a milestone of 10,000,000 counts was reached.

Format
People cooperate to post numbers in sequence. This calculating crew isn’t just into counting incrementally, because obviously more variety is exponentially more fun. There is counting in even numbers, odd numbers, prime numbers, hexadecimal, binary, Roman numerals, and even counting with money and with time.
