A tiny GUI-automation script for following accounts on Twitter

twitter-follow-clicker.js

/**
Why?:
This script is useful for following a large list of accounts straight from your browser.
There are many reasons to use this... Maybe you want to follow everyone in a community but you
can't be bothered to click on all those buttons... Maybe you want to follow all these accounts
in the hopes that they'll follow you back, giving you lots of free followers for doing nothing

How:
1. Navigate to a twitter page with multiple [Follow] buttons visible...
  - Scrolling to the bottom of a page may list more... Do this for maximum efficiency
2. Open your browser's command prompt
  - Chrome: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/console/
  - Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console/Opening_the_Web_Console
3. Paste the script below into the line and run

*/
var targetUsers = [...document
  .getElementsByClassName('EdgeButton EdgeButton--secondary EdgeButton--small button-text follow-text')]
  .filter(button => button.innerText.startsWith('Follow\nFollow'))
for (var i = 0; i < targetUsers.length; i++) {
  let button = targetUsers[i]
  // Twitter will get mad if you spam this... Clicking buttons on a 1-second cooldown
  setTimeout(() => {
    button.click()
  }, 1000 * i)
}

@architekco Sounds good to me! I wasn’t planning on this being a living document, but the logic could/will break any time they do a UI overhaul.

Appreciate the contribution, and best of luck “stimulating growth” 😂
