Automated (bot) accounts are being mistakenly treated as verified #157

Apologies for submitting yet another issue, but I've also noticed that Twitter accounts flagged as bots are being queued for blocking:—

[Blue Blocker] queued Otter(s) an Hour (@OtterAnHour) for a block due to Twitter Blue verified.
[Blue Blocker] queued Raccoons Hourly (@raccoonhourly) for a block due to Twitter Blue verified.
[Blue Blocker] queued HourlyYeen (@HourlyYeen) for a block due to Twitter Blue verified.
[Blue Blocker] queued Garfield and Friends Screens (@GarfieldScreens) for a block due to Twitter Blue verified.
[Blue Blocker] queued Ursula K. Le Guin bot (@UrsulaBot) for a block due to Twitter Blue verified.

Not sure whether this was happening prior to v0.3.1 or whether it's new to that version. No relevant logs in Firefox' service worker console.

Thanks again. ♥

it looks like this is caused by the bot label itself and a previous fix that went out to not miss business verified users.

for now, you can skip these by using the "skip users verified via businesses" or by adjusting your follower threshold

should be fixed in v0.3.2
