Here's a new one which also employs a delay to prevent spam issues.

var FOLLOW_PAUSE = 1250;

var FOLLOW_RAND = 250; 

var PAGE_WAIT = 2000;

__cnt__ = 0; 

var f;

f = function() {

        var eles;

        var __lcnt__ = 0;

        eles = jQuery('.Grid-cell .not-following .follow-text').each(function(i, ele) {

                    ele = jQuery(ele);

                    if (ele.css('display') != 'block') {

                        console.trace('Already following: ' + i);

                        return;

                    }

                    setTimeout(function() {

                              console.trace(Following  + i +  of  + eles.length);

                            ele.click();

                            if ((eles.length - 1) == i) {

                                console.trace(Scrolling...);

                                window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);

                                setTimeout(function() {

                                    f();

                                }, PAGE_WAIT);

                            }

                    }, __lcnt__++ * FOLLOW_PAUSE + Math.random()*(FOLLOW_RAND) - FOLLOW_RAND/2);

                    __cnt__++;

        });

}

f();

What it does:

• Looks for follow buttons


• Checks that you aren't already following or pending (display: block check)


• Sets a timer to click the FOLLOW buttons every 500ms to prevent spam issues.


• NEW! When it's done them all, scrolls the page and waits a couple seconds for the next loads to appear, then repeats the whole process!

Notes for hackers:

• Works on Chrome latest version and Twitter as of the 30th of Sep 2016.


• You seem to need to click the DIV inside the A tag, not the A tag itself.


• HOMEWORK: Maybe try jQuery's live() function to auto-click any new buttons which show up after the initial page load :)

Disclaimer: This is not a hack...just a technique to save some wrist and finger RSI :) Regardless, use cautiously and respectfully.

UPDATE: Improved for latest twitter. Now employs randomness in the timing to make you look less like a bot
