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!

Why not just delete your account? We're on a privacy ~~sub~~ community after all.

I have deleted my YouTube channel, but my subscriptions are still active. I can't delete my entire Google account because it contains important information that I don't want to lose.

How about migrating this information?

Then I need to change email address for my bank account, and it would probably be a hassle to do.

Can't be that much work, can it?

I just use RSS feeds to follow YT-channels. It's doesn't seem any less convenient than a YT account.

This is the way. Not to mention being able to sort them into categories.
