let elems = document.getElementsByClassName('js-discover-person-card__action-btn'), i = 0;
while(i++< elems.length){
	console.log("Yo we hack and stuff");
	setTimeout(
		elems[i].click(),
	1000);
}

Twitter Liker

Making a generalization

General Purpose clicker function

function clicker(elements) {
    Array.from(elements).forEach(
        element => {
        	setTimeout(
	            element.click(),
                500
            )    
        }
    );
}
