After following the instructions provided by NewPipe to download my subscriptions list for import, I get a .zip file with nothing but an HTML file within. No data related to subscriptions at all. If I opt to download an export containing all my Youtube data, then I get a couple of folders for History and another data subset but nothing for subscriptions.

I thought at first this may have been an issue related to the private status of my subscriptions list on my Youtube account, but even after toggling privacy off for my subs, I still cannot get a .zip from Youtube containing a .csv of my subscriptions.

Has anyone else had this issue?

    @AstralPath No I recently did this with no issues. You need to make sure the subscriptions is checked. All YouTube or Google Takeout are downloaded as zip files. Folder structure name of the zip - Takeout - YouTube and YouTube Music (or maybe just YouTube) - subscriptions - and the subscriptions.csv file is in there. If you don’t see this then you didn’t do it right.
