"""Archived initial script defining the bot."""
# Currently, news images are small. Make them large.
# Employ machine learning - follow only those people who follow back,
# and unfollow only those people who don't unfollow back!
# Start collecting data for training an NN to optimise the number or
# followers.
# As loss-function you could use something like 1000-<followers gained in
# time x> to have the bot aim for a plus of 1000 followers in time x. Where
# time x could in theory be anything. An hour, two, five or a day.
# Instead of searching tweets and then doing actions on them, why not try
# streaming interesting tweets in realtime and then performing actions on them?
