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.
depending on how long you take between one request and the other, you might get a 429 http error (too many requests in a short time period). try spacing them a little bit. my sweet spot (from a test in june 9th, 2023) was 1750ms between requests. fast enough, but not enough to get blocked by their api
