how to delete subscriptions on youtube

Initially started as a platform to share and watch cute cat videos, YouTube has grown so large that it has become the sea of knowledge and entertainment. It has become one of the essential things of people’s lives to an extent where it’s hard to imagine life without it. From boiling water( yes, that’s actually a video on YouTube) to making complex machines, you find everything you search for on YouTube. It has changed many people’s lives, whether viewers or content creators.

Like any other social media platform where you follow people, Youtube has its own method of following a creator. Creators upload their content to their respective channels. If you like watching a creator’s content, you can subscribe to their channel. That way, you’ll get all the notifications for the upcoming videos the creator posts.

But on other platforms, people can easily unfollow a creator if they lose interest in the type of content the creator produces. It’s just a matter of a few clicks. But on Youtube, people tend to forget about Unsubscribing a channel if they lose interest or no longer watch those videos. It’s not because it is challenging to Unsubscribe from a youtube channel but to unsubscribe from a channel; one needs to play a video of that creator or manually search for the channel to unsubscribe. Most people find that annoying and prefer ignoring the notifications.

Since people’s interests get shifted frequently these days, they end up subscribing to more and more channels they find exciting and forget about unsubscribing from the channels they have lost interest in. It is not mandatory to unsubscribe from a channel. You can always ignore the notifications, but the notifications will clutter over time, and you may miss some important videos you like. So unsubscribing is an excellent way to clean your youtube profile so that it remains clutter-free and you get a better viewing experience.

So in this article, we will learn how to delete subscriptions on youtube using a simple step-by-step method on various platforms. Let’s begin using a PC.
