Would you use a service to unfollow everyone on your social media?


Would you use a service that allows you to unfollow everyone on your social media in one click ? If so how much would you pay for it ?

Once having used an extension named "Unfollow everyone on facebook at once" proved to be a very effective way to cut down the amount of pointless stuff on FB. Apparently, the extension was too effective and successful to stay unpunished:

I stumbled over it back then due to the unavoidable Streisand effect and happily so. Combined with "Social Fixer" (see https://socialfixer.com for information), this made FB much more bearable.

Judging by it's CRX id, the code is still available via https://extpose.com/ext/pijkodjelolnmbehifeokihlodnajela/en (look for github on the page).

I would pay to have all my (forgotten) accounts deleted at socials, but also websites and apps

There are free scripts and or tools with free trial like phantombuster.

So the response is 0$.

There's free tools, so nothing.

I would use it if it was free. And even if it was a payed service, It would be a 1 time thing so I don't see it as a good business model.

Maybe I'm an outlier, but I'd just create a new account.

These days, every time I have to pay for something online I ask myself: is it worth 5.5% per year guaranteed no-risk that i'm losing out if I'd buy bonds instead?

I know it's offtopic, but I did a review last month and stripped down number of subscriptions:

* Replaced Dropbox with GDrive that I already pay for as part of my personal Google Workspace subscription (email on my domain).

* After recent Apple One price hike I couldn't justify it canceled and got _exactly what I need_ (just 200GB iCloud and Music), 3x cost reduction.

* Started transferring my soon-expiring domains from Gandi to Porkbun (I was too lazy before).

And so on, there were some more and I trimmed my online spend down significantly.

Out of curiosity, anyone else is doing this sort of optimization? During ZIRP I never cared much.

I remember when I was on Twitter, there was a service that did something similar, and it was free.
