I can't confirm this. Please send me a url that you expect to resolve to a handle.

if you go to https://www.polygon.com/ and use the addon there, try to find statements and click on the youtube link. you'll see the addon wants to save it as a youtube channel id instead of handle. But that url format doesn't work. because it actually is a handle.

The link you mean would be: https://www.youtube.com/user/polygon This url does not contain a handle.

The handle url would be: https://www.youtube.com/@polygon Which is correctly identified.

The Username url will resolve to a channel ID. I don't know why that is but someone wanted to collect the username as a channel ids. If we don't want this in the future, we'd have to delete this statement.

I guess that’s solved now
