Description
The reason I'd like this option is that I have like 10 accounts I am targetting, each with many followers.
I only followed 60 users total and am already getting a lot of "skipping users, already following" which means a lot of wasted waiting time and wasted followers of the target accounts.
Couldn't the bot just pick random followers of each account I am targetting or at least the last 200 or something?
With the current approach, I guess the bot will do nothing very soon unless I add new people.
Even though there are thousands of accounts following my target accounts that the bot never followed.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the follower-selection logic and tracing how it limits candidates to the last five for each targeted account; done means an explicit option can select random or a larger set of followers while continuing to skip users already followed.
