VM50:7 Refused to load the script 'https://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self' https://instagram.com https://www.instagram.com https://.www.instagram.com https://.cdninstagram.com wss://www.instagram.com https://.facebook.com https://.fbcdn.net https://*.facebook.net 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' blob:". Note that 'script-src-elem' was not explicitly set, so 'script-src' is used as a fallback.
Sorry this script doesn't seem to work anymore due to what you posted, the jquery seems to be blocked by instagram. I've made a new script here for following:

I'm trying the following right now and it's working. Thanks a lot!

No worries, sorry I'm on my personal account vs work account lol. Just be careful to set the limit/timer accordingly so you don't get detected by instagram for scripting.
haha never mind. How to do that(to set the limit)?. And one other thing. I'm trying to write a selenium based(not decided yet) script to do the same job. From your experience with IG Technology and bot detection. Anything I should be aware of while building the script?

On line 37 (https://gist.github.com/chaodonghu/c25c7ee3e3eb85c0a0de051892e596a4#file-follow-instagram-js-L37) you can change the multiple of the randomTimeout.
eg. const randomTimeout = () => (Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1) * 1000) + 20000 -> const randomTimeout = () => (Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1) * 1000) + 40000
Essentially changing the follow rate from 20-29s to 40-49s. The bot detection is kind of hard to avoid to be honest from what i've read it's probably ~100 followers/hour that it's capped at. If you really wanted to just have the tab open and run it with a safe 60-69 second rate.
For selenium based it should be the same thing, just have it click through and set the rate accordingly.
Thanks a lot Chao. This is really helpful :)
Could you whitelist people that are following you back or is it one or the other only?
