Pretty much this except add stage

5) get a life and stop acting like a child

Seriously, what are you, like five?

Was the insult really necessary? I really don't feel like it was. So what if OP didn't know that you could unfavorite in the way FG described. They were just trying to be helpful in an easy to digest and maybe even kinda amusing manner.
There are a lot of people who don't know about a lot of features on this site.

It's not appropriate to berate someone that's genuinely trying to help nor someone that's politely informing someone else of information.

If you were replying to someone that deleted their comment then I apologize for jumping to conclusions, yet as it looks it certainly seems like you're replying to one or both of the two above.

I'm just curious to know why someone would want to mass-unfavorite.

Deleted stuff mainly.

The favorites can be transferred if they're reposted for some reason, such as if the artist had to delete their NSFW stuff for their job as an animator but then rereleases them again under a new name so that people can actually see it again.

All kinds of reasons. maybe someone knows their name and they want to hide all of their favorites, even through a name change.

Maybe they're wanting to not fap as much, so they're deleting their favorites because they believe that will help them. (we all have different habits, so even if this wouldn't stop you, maybe it would stop them)

Maybe they havn't used their account in ages, and want to start over fresh.

Maybe they feel guilty because of a type of porn they Favorited a lot of and want to remove it from their life.

There are a lot of reasons, but their reasons are their own and they don't owe us any answers. <3

You can unfavorite posts manually, but the whole purpose of a program like this is to automate the process and have it happen more quickly. It's easy and only a bit time consuming to unfavorite 30 posts by just clicking them. Much less so if you're trying to unfavorite 3000 posts.

Personally, I'd find a script like this more useful if it let me add to, remove from, and redistribute between sets than simply remove from posts from my favorites list, which I never use despite my favcount mysteriously saying otherwise.

Sets are much more efficient at keeping track of things that I like but can't tag than favorites. I don't really use sets either though, so I have little motivation to learn how to do something like this myself.

@OP: Even though I don't need something like this, the effort is appreciated anyway!
