We first calculated our “best of 2017” back when everyone else started doing it, a couple of weeks ago, and have had to recalculate it twice since, first to replace one @Polyducks piece with another (times are tough when you’re your own stiffest competition), then to move everyone over for @pixel_art_for_the_heart’s number one with a bullet following the release of MIST1217.
Our “top 9” includes three pieces of pixelart, two pieces of needlepoint, and four varying textmode works in FANSI, Shift_JIS, and RexPaint PETSCII. Unrepresented and apparently less popular mediums include ANSI art, fusion beads, drawing, painting, photography, high resolution artwork and, bizarrely, teletext. (But then the top 9 does not tell the whole story - if it was a top 99, I’m sure it would be mostly teletext.) Overall the selections reflect a bias toward the final three artpacks of the year, reflecting the overall larger follower base we’d cultivated by then as well as our upping the frequency of Mistigram posts beyond the pace of one daily we maintained for most of the year. (Then again, the older pieces had enjoyed a longer window of time in which people had opportunity to enjoy them.) What follows is what bryface likes to characterise as “insider baseball”. We didn’t just go with the “most Impressions” Instagram metric as that can just indicate the presence of a perennially popular hashtag (hello, Michael Jackson and the Beatles) but rated these by Engagements because a view is negative-option, but a like is actively voluntary and an actual comment goes above and beyond the call of duty.
Thanks for all the eyeballs in 2017, folks! Here’s hoping we come up with even more for you to enjoy in the new year! http://ift.tt/2CoGb0A
