Follow these steps to unsubscribe from all Youtube channels using a script.
1. Go to https://www.youtube.com/feed/channels
You should see all the channels you are subscribed to.
2. Scroll down until all your Youtube subscriptions get listed
This step is very important. You have to scroll down the page until all the channels you are subscribed to are listed and loaded on the page. The script we will be using works by “simulating” a click on the “unsubscribe” button of every Youtube channel. That’s why you need to have all your Youtube subscriptions listed and visible on the page. This allows the script to unsubscribe from all channels one by one automatically.
3. Right-click then click on Inspect Element (or just Inspect).
Right-click anywhere on the page then click on Inspect Element (Or “inspect” depending on your web browser)
4. Click on the “Console” Tab
5. In the Console Tab, paste the code below and hit Enter
var i = 0;
var count = document.querySelectorAll("ytd-channel-renderer:not(.ytd-item-section-renderer)").length;
myTimer();
function myTimer () {
if (count == 0) return;
el = document.querySelector('.ytd-subscribe-button-renderer');
el.click();
setTimeout(function () {
var unSubBtn = document.getElementById("confirm-button").click();
i++;
count--;
console.log(i + " unsubscribed");
console.log(count + " remaining");
setTimeout(function () {
el = document.querySelector("ytd-channel-renderer");
el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
myTimer();
}, 250);
}, 250);
}6. Wait until the script has unsubscribed from all channels.
Let the script run for a minute or two, if you notice that the script has stopped or that there are still some channels remaining, restart the script again.
If the you notice that the script has stopped or is stuck on one channel asking for confirmation click on “Unsubscribe”. The script will keep rolling again. this little bug may happen if you have a slow internet.
