autism-fuelled data collection

cool follower experiments

i wanted to make a cool network graph of who follows who on chub and find cool links, started from seeing this

but obviously i can't really just get all the follower info of every chub user by just sending requests cause i'd get ratelimited to shit

early beginnings

still sucked tho,
so i just asked lore and got a follower csv :)) about 150k lines long or so

i threw it into gephi and started playing around with stuff

it obviously looked shit at this point cause i had no fucking idea what i was doing

the chub eye

super fucking pretty red circle

anyways i got to this point and realised just how many users there actually was

and i was really only interested in relations between botmakie followers anyways

there were also some people who followed like 800 users and were fucking up the graph

so i tweaked the python code that was making the gephi graphs to only show users who had >50 followers. i also used their group identifier and it turns out there's pretty clear connections between venus groups and aicg groups and whatnot in terms of 'who follows who'

i fucked around with making colors different based on follow counts

and here's the final svg version if you actually wanna read the tiny names (also the arrows are curved so it's cooler)

shit';s cool

here's all the accounts with over 1k followers


i did some more afterwards so here's some other cool stuff
follower maps, every single user:



what's wild is the line opacity is set to 10% so groups will be even more prominent. each individual line is a follow between people. cool stuff :)

download competition woooo

i also did some checking for who has the most downloads
this one was pretty simple to do. you can just send a request to the api endpoint that lists all characters with an obscenely high limit and nsfw true, then it just gives you every bot published so far. then you can just split the fullpath and add up the 'starCount' (why is downloads called that lol) for each user and boom you have a downloads count for each user.

all usernames with >50k downloads total

YES I KNOW ANONYMOUS IS ON THERE >:( it's intentional trust me definitely uwu

boner has a LOT

he's literally the sun
