This script autoblocks accounts which post any sponsored tweets, hopefully before you even see them. Use the autoscroll checkbox to let it scroll replies on a popular tweet, to hoover up accounts who sponsor.

// Usage:
// The function expects any of 3 types of arguments:
// * a tag name for your new element (string) - default: "div"
// * a DOM element you want to add your new element to - default: document.body
// * an object containing a list of attributes - default: {}. Example: {textContent:"Hello World", class: "dark", onclick: functionName}
// Don't try to supply two strings, or two DOM elements etc.
// The function will return the newly created element.
// Examples:
// Elements are added to the document.body by default:
// addEl({textContent:"A new div on the document body"});
// You can specify which element to add to:
// addEl("li", document.querySelector("ul"), {innerText:"A new list item",});
// You can specify an element and insert your new element in front of it by setting insertBefore to true (or anything that coerces to true!)
// addEl("li", document.querySelector("li"), {textContent:"A bumped first list item", insertBefore:true});
// You can create an element but not add it to the page, using the "append" attribute boolean:
// addEl("div",{textContent:"loading...", class:"main", append:false});
// You can set values
// addEl("input",{value:"Joe Bloggs"});
// Set event handler function names (Where handleEvent is the name of a function you've written)
// addEl("button", {textContent:"mouseoverme!", class:"btn", onmouseover:handleEvent});
// Set inline styles on the fly:
// addEl({textContent:"Warning!", style:"color: red;"});
// You can specify innerHTML if you realllly want to.
// addEl("span", {innerHTML:"<button>another button</button>"});
// You can also specify your own event handler javascript inside a string
// addEl("button",{textContent:"clickme!", class:"btn",onclick:"alert()"});
// It detects when a tag should be added to the head rather than the body:
// addEl("style", {textContent:"div {color: red;}"});
// addEl("script", {textContent:"alert()"});
