4 Chan Webscraper, Version 2

Consider doing your own data analysis. If you save your CSV, and make a pull request, I can add it to this repository for plotting word usage changes over time.

Highlights:

• Written in R.
• Objective: Datamining text, and displaying word frequencies.
• Uses the following libraries: rvest, tidyverse, tidytext, ggplot2, wordcloud.
• If you don't have these installed in your RStudio software, then install them.
• After installing, and running this script into your RStudio IDE, you can download all posts.
• Downloaded posts are then manipulated to show word frequencies.
• Differs from V1 by scraping all replies to OP, and has a much larger noise filter.
• Sentiment analysis is also performed.
