Code

(() => {
  let count = 0;

  // Function to get all buttons matching the aria-label pattern
  function getAllButtons() {
    return Array.from(
      document.querySelectorAll('button[aria-label^="Click to stop following"]')
    );
  }

  // Function to handle the unfollow process
  async function unfollowAll() {
    const buttons = getAllButtons();

    for (let button of buttons) {
      count += 1;

      // Extract name if available for logging purposes
      const name = button.closest('div')?.querySelector(
        '.follows-recommendation-card__name'
      )?.innerText || 'Unknown';

      console.log(`Unfollow #${count}:`, name);

      // Scroll to the button and click it
      window.scrollTo(0, button.offsetTop - 260);
      button.click();

      // Wait for the modal to appear
      await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 500));

      // Find and click the 'Unfollow' button in the modal
      const unfollowButton = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('button')).find(
        (btn) => btn.innerText.trim() === 'Unfollow'
      );

      if (unfollowButton) {
        unfollowButton.click();
      } else {
        console.warn(`Unfollow button not found for #${count}:`, name);
      }

      // Delay between actions to avoid overwhelming the website
      await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
    }
  }

  // Main function to iterate over the buttons until all are processed
  async function run() {
    await unfollowAll();
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);

    // Wait and recheck for new buttons (if dynamically loaded)
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));

    const buttons = getAllButtons();
    if (buttons.length) {
      console.log('More buttons detected, continuing...');
      run();
    } else {
      console.log('No more buttons to process.');
    }
  }

  // Start the script
  run();
})();
