Copy Likes to a playlist in YouTube Music

This is a very hacky solution to copy Liked songs to a playlist since YTM still doesn't have the functionality. I'm using this to copy songs out of YTM to another service, then unsubscribing. Thus, I won't be maintaining it (or ever using it again). It will only work while the YTM interface is the same as it is today (3/6/21) and will break once they make updates.

2. Go to your Likes page (in chrome, on a desktop or laptop). Scroll to the bottom so all songs are loaded

5. Press enter
