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!

When I cleaning up my instagram account I wanted to delete all bookmarks. There was no button for "delete all", so I also looked for a script. Then my account got suspended for like 2 weeks because its against their TOS to give such tools access to my account...

It may be easier with a userscript. It runs in the browser and automates clicks, so it's less obvious

I’m so glad I nuked my Facebook a few years ago before these companies were paying this much attention to web automation.

I have a bone to pick with Instagram. The platform only allows me to remove 100 likes at a time, and I have to do it manually, post by post. Even though I haven't used their 'remove like' feature in months, attempting to do so now results always in an error. And just to clarify, I haven't used any scripts to remove my likes; I've always done it manually, yet Instagram continues to block me.

Oh right, I think I stumbled upon this issue as well. Have you checked if you've received any E-Mail? I didn't know the account got suspended until I checked my mails
