Hi steemians!
In my first post (this one) I want to share with you a simple way to automate following a list of steemit users.
You could ask:
Ok Zero, cool username but how can be this useful to me ?
Well, if you are interested in some specific topics, by example: tech, programming, cryptocurrencies and philosophy (like me).
And you want your feed full of posts of those topics, to maybe start interact with people interested in the same topics than you. . . or whatever other reason you may have :) here is the trick:
1. Go to the profile of someone who publishes posts of the topic you prefer.
2. Click on "following" to get the list of followers of that user.
3. Open browser console, pressing Ctrl + Shift + C
4. Click on "Console"
5. Paste the next code and press enter
for(i = 1; i < 51; i++){
var button = $("#content table > tbody > tr:nth-child(" + i + ") > td:nth-child(1) > span > label:nth-child(1)");
if(button.innerText == 'FOLLOW'){
button.click();
}
}
This JavasScript code iterates the list of buttons and click them if you are not already following that user :)
And then you can wait some seconds until steemit process all the followings and maybe, click next after to keep following users.
This is a semi automated process, the following of users may be fully automated using above code and maybe Python programming language.
I hope this might be helpful for you, if you like coding, bots creation, using or creating programs for automation of tasks, cryptocurrency, steemit and general tricks or simply technology follow me :)
