Unfollow people that do not follow you on Twitter

unfollow.js

/* Scroll to the bottom of https://twitter.com/following
Open the Console and run the following
*/

$('.ProfileCard-content').each(function(){var status = $(this).find('.FollowStatus').text();var unfollowButton = $(this).find('.user-actions-follow-button');if(status != 'follows you'){unfollowButton.click();}});

Hello again,

Thank you for your comment,. In fact, those improvements were made already in the official gist but I did not publish the update here, sorry.

You can set a limit of total unfollow actions performed setting the 'MAXIMUM_UNFOLLOW_ACTIONS_TOTAL' variable with the desired number. You can also set a limit of unfollow actions performed per cycle (each call to the 'performUnfollow' function) setting the 'MAXIMUM_UNFOLLOW_ACTIONS_PER_CYCLE' variable with the desired number.

You can also set the milliseconds per cycle (each call to the 'performUnfollow' function) by modifying the 'MS_PER_CYCLE' variable.

So, for example, if you want to unfollow one person each second then you can set the 'MAXIMUM_UNFOLLOW_ACTIONS_PER_CYCLE' variable to 1 and the 'MS_PER_CYCLE' variable to 1000.

Here is the new code:

/*
	Unfollow (stop following) those people who are not following you back on Twitter (or unfollow everyone if desired).
	
	This will work for new Twitter web site code structure (it was changed from July 2019, causing other unfollow-scripts to stop working).
	
	Instructions:
	1) The code may need to be modified depending on the language of your Twitter web site:
		* For English language web site, no modification needed.
		* For Spanish language web site, remember to set the 'LANGUAGE' variable to "ES".
		* For another language, remember to set the 'LANGUAGE' variable to that language and modify the 'WORDS' object to add the words in that language.
	2) Optionally, you can edit the 'SKIP_USERS' array to insert those users that you do not want to unfollow (even if they are not following you back).
	3) If you want to follow everyone (except the users in 'SKIP_USERS'), including those who are following you, just set the 'UNFOLLOW_FOLLOWERS' variable to 'true'.
	4) You can set the milliseconds per cycle (each call to the 'performUnfollow' function) by modifying the 'MS_PER_CYCLE' variable.
	5) If desired, set a number to the 'MAXIMUM_UNFOLLOW_ACTIONS_PER_CYCLE' variable to establish a maximum of unfollow actions to perform for each cycle (each call to the 'performUnfollow' function). Set to null to have no limit.
	6) If desired, set a number to the 'MAXIMUM_UNFOLLOW_ACTIONS_TOTAL' variable to establish a maximum of unfollow actions to perform in total for all cycles (all calls to the 'performUnfollow' function). Set to null to have no limit.
	7) When the code is fine, on Twitter web site, go to the section where it shows all the people you are following (https://twitter.com/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/following).
	8) Once there, open the JavaScript console (F12 key, normally), paste all the code there and press enter.
	9) Wait until you see it has finished. If something goes wrong or some users were not unfollowed, reload the page and repeat from the step 6 again.

NOTE: STILL NOT SURE ABOUT THE TEXT IN THE CONFIRMATION BUTTON FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE. LET ME KNOW OR MODIFY IT BY YOURSELF TO THE CORRECT ONE IF NEEDED!

Thank you very much. Any comments are welcome.

I did re develop. Worked for me : https://gist.github.com/swoorr/33812c380b5b22efff27149e9223ec42

Thanks so much, @jalbam - the script you've created is amazing and so helpful!!
Thanks for keeping it updated.

does not work?
