If Hubble’s Law is true, then v = H * D, and when D = c / H, v = c, and that is called Hubble Limit. If you go far enough, galaxies will recede faster than the speed of light. That boundary defines the Hubble Volume.
In the Big Bang model, once a photon goes that far, space is expanding faster than light can travel, it’s basically stuck at Hubble’s Limit. There would be a bunch just adding up in that case.
In this model (which is not the 1930′s Tired Light model), the photon hits a frequency of zero, and ceases to exist.
Your “bunch just adding up” link is to a Q&A site’s question where you ask “would they just pile up?” and get the answer “no, not really”. (I paraphrase a little.)
The answer was that they’d have an infinite wavelength (as if that makes sense) so they wouldn’t literally be on a line in front of my face, but yet, they’re there, alright, zero frequency photons flying at c in space expanding faster than they can travel, forever (according to the expanding theory).
Point is, the frequency redshifts. It will hit zero. That’s consistent with what we observe out there. Known as Hubble’s Limit.
