Ability to combine channels into a single "creator"

[Sainan]

Use Cases

Greyjay is advertised as being a platform to "follow creators, not channels," yet all that can be done is follow/subscribe to channels. A trivial example of this would be Jet Lag: The Game. They have an active presence on both Youtube and Nebula, both supported by Greyjay, and yet, if I were to actually follow both via Greyjay, I would see every video twice in my subscription feed.

Proposal

I propose that you actually be able to follow creators, by specifying their channel(s), resuling in a better presence in the subscription feed, e.g. by pruning or collapsing multiples of the same video in the subscription feed.

This feature would require de-duplicating videos that have different titles, sizes, and lengths--i I'm not sure there's actually any reasonable way to do this without creating a brand new crowd sourced database or getting creators to add some kind of metadata.

We already support this, but our current design is to be creator driven, meaning that a creator needs to verify their accounts so no false positives happen. We've been thinking about doing this in an automatic fashion, or even user specified, we just haven't gotten to it.

We already support deduplicating videos from the same account.
