@kin Kin, scalability and reach.
APIs and code allow you to do things a human cannot. Using cheap commodity hardware, a well documented Python module and some custom code, since 2017 I’ve run a service ¥ that read out lines from Jane Austin novels, one line at a time every 15 minutes.
Humans cannot tweet as regularly as my code. It is stable enough to run for months without intervention. I targeted #JaneAusten, a popular author and grew the readership to almost 3K. Not big numbers, but read by a significant portion of the serious Austen readers and scholars on twitter.
I started if for a challenge and kept it running for fun. You can read more of the technical bits here: <https://seldomlogical.com/pureausten.html>
