Following YouTube channels often follows the wrong channel

[nclm]

When adding https://www.youtube.com/@audacity in 1Feed, it is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf6prPsXYNYKXH4hX-cuEwQ which is added instead.

Both channels are from the same company, but they don’t have the same content. I don’t know how one gets followed instead of the other, but the bug behind should probably be corrected :) Very confusing to have feeds you didn’t subscribe to, and not necessarily easy to find what was the original intent.

Ok a few more examples.

Subscribing to https://www.youtube.com/@SoftSpot subscribes to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2zXd5Kq9Hu-_bwO1H7CD0g instead (unrelated)

Subscribing to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKtG_lXZk4pRJkapfK0eprA subscribes to https://www.youtube.com/@arte instead (same producers but not the same channel)

Subscribing to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3KEoMzNz8eYnwBC34RaKCQ subscribes to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJUn6QmXuFV9CkuJB9T7F_w instead (unrelated?)

Subscribing to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_dlV_7ofr4qeP1drJQ-qg subscribes to https://www.youtube.com/@DBruce instead (same theme but not same channel)

Subscribing to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCI1A8NZAr8kVccArCEgXaw subscribes to https://www.youtube.com/@definitepartymaterial instead (unrelated)

etc, etc.

I spent a long time importing many YouTube channels in 1Feed, and so many of them are now wrong. This seems like a serious bug in the YouTube subscription feature, home it can get resolved :)

I think I can see what’s not working but it is weird: all of these channels have a link to the other channel on their homepage, usually in their “Suscriptions” section. Somehow 1Feed pick these instead of the actual channel.
