Click. Blink. Unsubscribed.

When you subscribe to quite a lot of YouTube channels, new content would stop flowing in, as in my case. One option is to unsubscribe from the ones that aren’t of much use to us. However, if you wish to unsubscribe from all the channels in one go, YouTube provides no such option. So, how do we do this?

With my recent exposure to JavaScript, I decided to write a small script to unsubscribe from all the channels. Here are the steps I’ve taken which you may follow if you wish to do the same.

  1. Login to your YouTube/Google account.
  2. Go to https://www.youtube.com/feed/channels to list all your subscriptions.
  3. In the same window, perform the following:
    Right click → Inspect Element → Console
  4. Paste the following code in the console and press Enter.

That’s it, blink and see all your subscriptions gone 😉

With this done, new content started flowing in as well. Hope this helps someone in need.

Please note, I have tested this on Firefox only. For any issues, please open a Github issue: https://github.com/AjayRajNelapudi/Unsubscribe-YouTube-Channels/issues
