Clean Up Your YouTube Subscriptions (github.com)

I needed to clean up my Google account but couldn't remove all my YouTube subscriptions because Google doesn’t allow it, SO FUCK YOU GOOGLE. I searched online for a solution but only found broken scripts. So, I made my own working script to unsubscribe from all channels efficiently. Sharing it here in case anyone else is in the same boat. Hope it helps!

This is super useful, I was thinking about writing something similar myself recently. Thanks for sharing! Being able to scribe the acfou t clean and start over is very useful. I have 900+ subscriptions that I guess just built up over time. Too many to manually work through and remove the ones I actually dont watch.

No problem, my guy. I found myself in the same situation with over 1,000 subscriptions. After finalizing the script yesterday, I quickly unsubscribed from all of them, saving my time, mental health, and my mouse switches!
