Removes inferred interests from Twitter https://twitter.com/settings/your_twitter_data/twitter_interests

// Lots of discussion and improvement of the original script in the comments

// Here's the best version that works well
// Because Twitter stops the script working after unchecking 50 interests, so you will almost certainly have to run the script multiple times

function sleep(milliseconds) {
    return new Promise(function (resolve) {
        return setTimeout(resolve, milliseconds);
    });
};

Array.from(document
    .querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]'))
    .filter(checkbox => checkbox.checked == true)
    .slice(0, 50)
    .forEach((checkbox, index, array) =>
        sleep(1000).then(() => {
            console.log(`${index + 1}/${array.length}: Unchecking "${checkbox.parentNode.parentNode.innerText}"`)
            checkbox.click();
        }));

Alex Marshall dixit:

sleep(5000 * index).then(() => {

index can get into the multiple hundreds though… bye, //mirabilos -- Gestern Nacht ist mein IRC-Netzwerk explodiert.

Yes, but if you aren't doing this multiplication then every execution starts at the same time, just offset by 1000 from when the script is executed. Only with the multiplication is it delaying the same amount between each click, to simulate clicking them manually.

Ah, indeed, so they aren’t cumulative. I had good-ish success with running the script a few times with an hour pause or so in between, in the meantime… the crap site insists on piling on more and more abstruse “interests” though. bye, //mirabilos -- Gestern Nacht ist mein IRC-Netzwerk explodiert.

Rewrote it to divide the checkboxes into chunks to run the script in batches to prevent hitting twitter's API rate limits.

let chunks = [];
let source = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]:checked'));

while (source.length) {
  chunks.push(source.splice(0, 20));
}

const event = new MouseEvent('click', {

  view: window,
  bubbles: true,
  cancelable: true
});

let minutes = 10; // amount of time to wait between batches
let interval = setInterval(() => {

  if (chunks.length === 0) {

    clearInterval(interval);
    return;
  }

  chunks.splice(0, 1)[0].forEach(i => {
      i.dispatchEvent(event);
  });

}, minutes * 60 * 1000);

People should realize that twitter does not remove the interests, and will continue to add/enable interests whilst using twitter.

Almost funny how this excellent gist is not the first result in Google, but it is the first result in Brave Search for "twitter clear interests"
