9 months ago Managing (adding or removing) follows hasn't been possible for 3rd parties since July 27, 2021. You can "work around" the removing part by using blocking which also removes the follows but has the other "negative" effects of blocking. This means you will always have to go to the channel on the website or mobile app to unfollow it.
As for the filtering of followed channels to make it easier to find the channels you might want to unfollow:
- when was the last time they streamed
- when was the last time i chatted in their channel
- when was the last time i visited their channel when they were live (idk if this can be tracked at all)
Sadly Twitch doesn't provide this information via any of their public APIs
- do they have any videos in past broastcasts. if so, what games/categories are in these videos
This would be possible to check. However as past broadcasts get deleted after 7, 14 or 60 days (depending on account type / turbo) and quite a few channels don't have it enabled at all this probably wouldn't tell you much.

there are already existing tools that can unfollow every channel. but what if i dont want to unfollow every single channel? i'd like to unfollow channels by certain criteria, or by selecting them myself (perhaps a checkmark to the left of their name)
some criteria could be:
i have a very old twitch account that's has reached 2000 channels followed (if i attempt to follow someone, the follow button lights back up), and there's no easy way to unfollow specific channels without opening the following list, middle clicking every channel i'd like to unfollow, waiting for the channel to load, just to press the unfollow button, confirmation, and close the tab
