Description
First, I want to say thank you. This is terrific.
To Reproduce
I have about 13 accounts listed to take followers from.
Was only looking to follow 50 additional accounts/day
Follower/following amounts bumped to 100
Other settings are largely unchanged
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Windows 10
- Browser: Firefox is my default, I have chrome installed, but this seems to open in its own little browser.
Additional context
I've noticed that the bot will run, collect a list of 50 accounts to follow and then go follow the accounts that meet the set parameters. If an account doesn't meet the parameters it is not replaced with other accounts to follow. So if 10 accounts do not meet the parameters it only follow 40 accounts instead of the 50 desired.
I have compensated for this by just upping the amount of accounts I wish to follow, but figured it was worth noting.
Thanks again,
Dan

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior using the described settings: about 13 source accounts, a target of 50 follows per day, and the stated follower/following limits. Trace how candidate accounts are collected and filtered, then verify that rejected candidates are replaced until the configured number is reached; done means the bot follows the requested count when enough eligible accounts exist.
