So, I recently got hit with a wave of bot follows on Twitter and quickly realized I wasn't alone in this mess. A ton of others are dealing with the same thing, and I figured, why not do something about it?
I jumped straight into building a Chrome extension that automatically detects bots based on stuff like their following-to-followers ratio, keywords in their bios, and more. Makes it super easy to clean up your follower list in one click.
Without overthinking it, I posted this tweet: https://x.com/zeusinsight/status..., and to my surprise, it immediately grabbed people’s attention! Turns out, this was a way bigger issue than I thought - and people really wanted a solution!
A few minutes after that tweet, ping - email notification: Lemon Squeezy! I had just made my first sale... within minutes! Then, it just kept rolling in. I'm now at 21 sales and still counting!
Thanks to everyone supporting this project!
This extension sounds super handy! Haven't had a chance to fully dive in yet, but it looks like a simple solution to clean up the bot problem. Congrats on getting this out there!
