UPDATED 22.11.2022
It's been two years since the last update, so here's the updated working script as per the comments below.
Thanks to BryanHaley for this.
setInterval(function () {
video = document.getElementsByTagName('ytd-playlist-video-renderer')[0];
video.querySelector('#primary button[aria-label="Action menu"]').click();
var things = document.evaluate(
'//span[contains(text(),"Remove from")]',
document,
null,
XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null
);
for (var i = 0; i < things.snapshotLength; i++)
{
things.snapshotItem(i).click();
}
}, 500);
Non-english users will need to change "Action menu" and "Remove from" to what YouTube uses for their localization.
Me too. I'm starting to wonder if this can be done through API calls too.
