For some reason, I just thought that while the raw .py file can be used in almost every platforms, there are probably some Linux / macOS users might think that this is just a Windows program and I don't want them running the .exe using WINE or something, as running a Python script with WINE is very inefficient.

So, I suggest that some notes should be added for Linux / macOS users at the readme so they will be encouraged to use the YoutubeSpammerPurge.py script. Especially that some YouTubers are using Macs, or even Linux, as their daily-driver.

I could just make a pull request & edit the README.md, but I don't want my bad English grammar to ruin it.
Thanks, from @wilsontulus

AppImage/Flatpak for Linux users would be nice. Or maybe a self-contained binary.

No, AppImage / Flatpak isn't really a nice solution though as most Linux distributions already come with Python installed (even though most of them didn't came with required prerequisites installed).
What I meant was, I want the download instructions at the readme to tell Linux & macOS users to install Python in their systems (if Python haven't installed yet), then install the required prerequisites, and finally they can run the program by executing the YouTubeSpammerPurge.py script.
In conclusion, just a Windows instruction isn't enough, as there are also many YouTubers using macOS as their daily driver, and even some (mostly tech) YouTubers are using Linux as their daily driver.

I could just make a pull request & edit the README.md, but I don't want my bad English grammar to ruin it.

Thanks, sorry for my grammar though 😊

@wilsontulus self-contained binary?

@wilsontulus I wouldn't care about grammar, someone else will correct it if it's weird, but I think it would be at least a first step to have a draft
I also can help if there's need
