// Remove everyone following you on twitter.com
// https://gist.github.com/ramsey/bdeefda66d6e2294d3466edcea30187b
//
// 1. Go to https://twitter.com/YOUR_USER_NAME/followers
// 2. Open the Developer Console. (COMMAND+ALT+I on Mac)
// 3. Paste this into the Developer Console and run it
//
// If you start seeing error messages in the console with the code
// "429," this means Twitter is rate-limiting you. Stop the script
// (i.e., reload or close the browser tab), and try again later.
