Blocking twitter trolls (2): Blocking fancams

Earlier this year, a kpop translation account started running a script that blocks all trolls who post fancam under their tweets. We can now restrict who can leave a reply under our tweet but the feature is limited.

If you're running a big account that provides content, you don't want to block all conversations under your tweet because after all, not all people are trolls. If you only want to reduce the number of trolls, in this case people who post fancam (related or not), this script is the answer. Another case of use of this script is if you want to read the conversations under a tweet WITHOUT having to go through all those fancam posts.

This is what this script does: blocking all people who post fancam (video) under a certain tweet. You'll need a Twitter developer account (apply here) with 'Read and Write permission'.

Paste the link to the tweet then run the script. Full script can be found on my github.
