Someone: "I wish I knew how to make it up to you honey"
The bot: "Wish granted. Here's a make-up tutorial."

[@BananaWasTaken]

Random Person: I wish I knew how to speak French
DumbGenie: I know exactly what you want- here’s How to speak!
Another Person: I wish I knew how to pull up Instagram Live on my tv
The bot: Wish granted: how to pull up
Different Person: I wish I knew how to get my hands on merch for hiromi
The bot: Wish granted! How to get my hands on merch for hiromi: *links Radiance (from Hollow Knight) - Piano Tutorial*
Person: I wish I knew how to describe Eddie’s voice bc it is one of the many wonders of this world
The bot: Wish granted! How to describe eddies voice bc: *links Benedict Cumberbatch Can’t Say ‘Penguins*

algorithm boost moment

[@spacedoggo4529]

If it can only tweet every one hour and it has a max of 100 tweets per day, I think you can see where theres no issues, matter a fact you could possible divide to figure out the best time to use exactly 100 searches a day

[@DanielLenrd]

the problem is that you can also tweet the bot directly

[@jus9]

7:42 poor Savannah got trolled by a bot

[@beegbraining]

So if the youtube API only lets you do up to 100 searches per day, couldn't you theoretically store the titles of those videos in a database so then the bot won't have to search for duplicate wishes it could just pull from the database?

[@DissyFanart]

Or just forego the API and do an actual UA-cam search, then extract the URL from the HTML looool

[@Atius]

[@inigo8740]

Isn't it possible to just specify a time instead of a tweet for "since"?

I would have made it look to see if the tweet already had a reply from itself, that way no database.
