Locked accounts show as "Paid" #107

Open RedactedCode opened 1 year ago

RedactedCode commented 1 year ago

Something's changed at Twitter (I got logged out multiple times on different accts today) and now all my locked accounts are showing as "Paid" rather than having a padlock icon.

If I turn the $8 extension off, the padlock reappears

Not only that but other, non-verified, non-paid accounts are now showing as Legacy verified seemingly at random. I guess they moved some tags on the backend to break this extension on purpose; seems a little malicious on Twitter's part that they're trying to trick people into blocking their actual friends on locked accounts.

This is also true regardless language settings.

In case of 'likes', the padlock is shown correctly - in case of posts and profiles, it's marked as $. image

Can confirm, I am seeing this behavior with version 2.0. Locked my own account and my own posts now have a "Paid" banner next to them.

Still seeing this issue, multiple locked/private accounts appearing as paid accounts when they are not twitter blue subscribers

Pretty sure this plugin has been abandoned. I'm not great at JavaScript, but I was able to do some CSS trickery in the script.js file to get this to stop marking locked accounts as being Paid. I don't know about the other issues people are talking about, this doesn't address them. If you want to use this, you'll need to figure out how to load an "unpacked" or "sideloaded" extension into your browser. Video tutorial for Chrome and Firefox here [NOTE: Firefox will force you to do this every time you restart the browser]. I've only tested it in Chrome.

Anyway, download the Eight Dollars zip from github and extract it somewhere on your computer that you'll remember. You should be seeing an "eight-dollars-main" folder from the zip. Replace the script.js file in that folder with the one I'm sharing from Google Drive here [left-click, find the download button]. Now you're ready to load it into your browser, just remember to either disable or remove the original one from your browser first because this will not update that one. To be clear, I'm not going to be providing any support or taking any requests, you use this at your own risk. Search online for help and maybe make a backup of your profile folder before messing around.
