tinyspires' Greatest Hits
tinyspires is a Twitter bot by @amandaglosson, written in Tracery and hosted on cheapbotsdonequick, like my own bot I wrote about last week.
The incremental improvement I needed for this report was to find the image URL in the Tweet metadata, which was not too hard. I am pleased to see that Steemit inlines the images without further work necessary on my part.
I also extended my search further back, but this turned out to be unnecessary as the top tweets (by interaction count) all occurred in 2018; the bot started posting around August of 2017. One of the things I hope to study is how interaction rates decrease with time--- a lot of bots have an "oatmeal" problem where every one of their outputs starts to look more or less the same over time.
The top ten tweets from tinyspires, sorted by sum of retweets and likes:

Plot of popularity for every tweet in the sample, and a weekly count:
full size
That last data point is suspect because I didn't normalize by number of tweets per week (which is usually fixed because it's on a regular schedule.)
