Just wrote a short script to remove those tweets for myself, and then saw your version because I wanted to see how other people approach it :)

setInterval(function removePromotions() {
    document.querySelectorAll(".promoted-tweet").forEach(function(promo) {
        promo.parentNode.remove();
    });
}, 250);

Also noticed that you started with an approach of removing the block, and then switched to hiding it. Much more efficient probably.
