To unfollow all those people you’re following, then copy and paste the code below to console and press “Enter”.

console.log(`WAITING FOR ${seconds} SECONDS...`);

});
const unfollowAll = async (followButtons) => {
console.log(`UNFOLLOWING ${followButtons.length} USERS...`);
await Promise.all(

await sleep({ seconds: 1 });
const confirmButton = document.querySelector($confirmButton);

} else {

Thanks exactly what I was looking for.
This is great information. What is the daily unfollow number before you violate unfollow rules.
woW!
Well done Victor! It worked. Any tips to unfollow inactive handles on Twitter? I mean handles who have not tweeted for let say 2years or more? I will appreciate your response. I will keep checking back.
