Anyone know how to export a list of YouTube subscription channels?

I'm migrating to Bit Chute (YT sucks). I can manually search Bit Chute for each YT channel name in my YT subscriptions list. But that will take a few days.

So, does anyone know of a better way?

Thanks FBBO
 
I tried this when I changed my primary email address several years back. I couldn't find a quick way then either.
 
Go to your Icon top right of the Youtube page. Click it a menu will drop down. Then click on your data in youtube. Then a new page will open. On that page it will say Your YouTube dashboard. In that menu click the small down arrow where it says more. Then click download youtube data. It will take you to Google Takeout. There is where you start the process. It may take a while depending on how many videos you have. But it will include your subscriptions and all other data you choose to keep. Wait for the compression to finish and download it.

I did that but when I opened the html file in the un-zipped folder there was zero data.

Let me check my data file I downloaded to see how it works. There should be a folder called takeout. In that folder you should have a few folders. Each folder contains data in .json with .json files they need to be opened with Microsoft word. But trying to figure out what is what is sort of weird since it all looks to be in HTML ish format.

All my Takeout folder had was an html link to a web page that said I had no data.
