REMOVE_INSTAGRAM_FOLLOWERS.md

I had an issue with an account that had many many bots followers affecting their engagement so I created this script to remove them. Instagram has a hard guideline to remove followers. I recommend not deleting more than 4 per hours and 40 per day. Use it wisely

Go to your profile on instagram.com (sign in if not already) Click on XXX followers for the popup with the users that follow you Open Chrome Devtools and paste the content of script.js and hit enter

if the script saved you a lot of time (and/or money) you can buy me a coffee
