Description
Would be great if it could avoid following users who are already followers. Perhaps it could just detect that there's a "Follow Back" button rather than a "Follow"?

Research direction
Start by locating the follow action in the TypeScript GUI and inspect how it distinguishes the “Follow” and “Follow Back” buttons. The work is done when users who already follow the account are skipped while other intended users are still followed; add or update coverage if the project has tests for this behavior.
