I've magically resubbed to channels I unsubbed from months ago! #42

Hey I'm not sure if this issue is to do with the extension but I'll post it anyway seeing that there have been a few updates pushed today.

I've noticed in the last couple of hours that my channel has magically resubscribed to at least 3 channels I unsubbed from months ago, and their videos are showing up on my subscriptions page! When I view a video from one of the channel, the Subscribe button is displaying as if I have subscribed to them (ie it's grey and says Subscribed as opposed to red).

This is a very weird issue! And it's highly likely that it's an issue with YouTube itself and not the extension. It's a coincidence seeing as there were a few updates to the extension pushed today.

Is anybody else experiencing the same behaviour?

Hey, hmm thats weird indeed. There have been reports of YT doing that in the past and I dont really think theres any code that could cause random resubs, or subbing at all for that matter, specially if YT is showing as if you were subscribed on their part.

Im 99% sure its on YouTube's side, but Ill keep this issue open in case someone else happens upon the same problem.
