Unable to unsubscribe from YouTube channels.

Post by BenFenner » 2026-04-17, 21:31

I'm logged into YouTube and attempting to unsubscribe from a channel I am currently subscribed to.
It does not work.

I can change the notification style using the Subscription control, but the final option of unsubscribing does not work.
I know I'm a bit of a masochist still using PM for this site, but it still works quite well for me in general.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Obtain a YouTube account if not already done so and something you're willing to do. https://www.youtube.com
2) Log into your YouTube account.
3) Subscribe to a channel (any channel).
4) Attempt to unsubscribe from that channel.
5) Notice it does not work.

It works for me. Both from channel and video.

Okay, I should have mentioned it is not working for me from either of those places.

Let me try disabling the only YouTube-related extension I have (YouTubeNonStop) and report back.

Edit: It turns out it was uBlockOrigin... So I'll try hunting down what list, or custom filter might be the cause.

Sorry for the trouble!
