This script:
- Is completely free and has been since 2013.
- Doesn't try and get you to sign in or take your personal data.
- Automates your web browser to make it click unfollow buttons, scroll down to reveal more, then do it again.
- No tricks, all of the code is here so you can see exactly what it does.
If this script was useful and saved you time, maybe kick in for a Coffee to say thanks:
Thanks man still working
