- If you want to unsubscribe YouTube channel subscription list, you don’t need a magic tool.
- There are two easy ways to delete channels that no longer interest you and keep only the content you like.
- How to download a YouTube video on your PC.
YouTube, the most popular video platform in the world, owned by Google, offers multiple advantages that make it attractive to millions of people. Users can create and share their own content, as well as access a wide variety of videos on entertainment, education or any other topic of interest.
Some of the most notable features are the ability to receive notifications when the creators you follow publish new content, as well as the option to create custom playlists and interaction through comments and likes.
If you want to stay up to date with what your favorite creators are doing and not miss a video, subscribing to a channel is essential. This way you can receive automatic notifications and be in direct contact with the content you like the most. However, tastes change and some channels may no longer interest you as much as before or may no longer meet your expectations.
It is normal that there will come a time when you want to clean up your subscriptions and stop following some channels. The problem is that YouTube doesn’t have a built-in feature to unsubscribe from all channels at once. But don’t worry, there are solutions available that will make this task easier for you.
How to delete all YouTube channel subscriptions at once
To carry out this action, you can choose between two methods: manual cancellation, which is the one we all know, where you have to delete channel by channel, and automatic cancellation using a custom script in Inspect Element.
Both approaches have their own advantages and challenges, so below, we share a step-by-step walkthrough of each of the options:
Manual method to unsubscribe YouTube channels
- Log in to your YouTube account and go to the Subscriptions tab in the left side menu.
- Click the Manage option in the top right corner to see the list of all your subscribed channels.
- To the right of each channel, click the Subscribed button and select Unsubscribe.
Automatic method to unsubscribe YouTube channel
This method is faster and easier, but requires a little knowledge of JavaScript, but is quite effective if you want to cancel all YouTube channel subscriptions.
To do so, follow these steps:
- Go to your subscriptions page and right-click anywhere and select Inspect.
- Now, go to the Console tab.
- In this step, you must copy this code to a new line:
/*** YouTube bulk unsubscribe fn.* Wrapping this in an IIFE for browser compatibility.*/(async function iife() {// This is the time delay after which the "unsubscribe" button is "clicked"; Change it as per your need!var UNSUBSCRIBE_DELAY_TIME = 2000/*** Delay runner. Wraps `setTimeout` so it can be `await`ed on.* @param {Function} fn* @param {number} delay*/var runAfterDelay = (fn , delay) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {setTimeout(() => {fn()resolve()}, delay)})// Get the channel list; this can be considered a row in the page.var channels = Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName(`ytd-channel-renderer`))console.log(`${channels.length} channels found.`)var ctr = 0for (const channel of channels) {/ / Get the subscribe button and trigger a "click"channel.querySelector(`[aria-label^='Unsubscribe from']`).click()await runAfterDelay(() => {// Get the dialog container... document.getElementsByTagName(`yt-confirm-dialog-renderer`)[0]// and find the confirm button....querySelector(`[aria-label^='Unsubscribe']`).click()console.log (`Unsubsribed ${ctr + 1}/${channels.length}`)ctr++}, UNSUBSCRIBE_DELAY_TIME)}})()- The script will begin the process and start removing subscriptions from each YouTube channel sequentially. During the process you will be able to see notifications from channels to which you are no longer subscribed.
- It should be noted that if at any time the script stops working, in this case it simply reloads the page and repeats the process.
It is important to note that the automatic method, although a little more complicated, can save you time and effort, especially if you have many subscriptions that you want to delete at once.
This way, you can organize your subscriptions from scratch, thus achieving a list of channels that best suits your current preferences.
