While looking at @pulte's latest creation, the #TwitterFoodBank hashtag, we noticed something odd. Many of the tweets were retweeted by exactly one account: @anpaus4, which has racked up an impressive 47.9K tweets despite being created last month.

As it turns out, @anpaus4 is a bot. The account tweets 24/7 via a custom app called "gabe-app2", producing over 1000 tweets per day. All tweets are retweets. (Plots are limited to the most recent 3200 tweets.)
How does @anpaus4 decide what to retweet? It seems to select a trending word or hashtag and retweet tweets containing it for an hour or two before moving on to a new trend. K-pop and cash giveaway trends (i.e. @pulte's hashtags) make up the majority of the bot's content.
