(Yes, I know we are able to link accounts. This suggestion is for the YouTube linking action. Do not take it that I am suggesting a feature to link our accounts to a profile-we already have that. Thanks.) Okay, first things first. This is for the ability to link YouTube accounts, not anything else [at the moment]. I own a YouTube channel, Cube², that has nothing on it but an introduction video. Because I do not have the requirements to change my URL, I am unable to link my YouTube account with this account. Why? Because ROBLOX's system is to change the /channel/ URL piece (used if you don't have a custom URL) to a /user/ piece (used if you do have a custom URL). This causes an error since /channel/ is changed to /user/. In example, if I use my channel link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzvIoeJiquq3_AwWe2PzPCQ, it will become https://www.youtube.com/user/UCzvIoeJiquq3_AwWe2PzPCQ. Since there is no /user/UCzvIoeJiquq3_AwWe2PzPCQ, I get directed to an error every time I click on the YouTube button. This irritates me because I am unable to advertise my channel in front of people, other than blurbs and forum ads. I'm sure many people struggle have 500 subs (and the rest of the requirements) just to link their account with ROBLOX. -- TL;DR Make /channel/ parts of URLs used for channels without a custom URL on YouTube.

@Nteorvolri, Bait or not? Your 11 questions me, you use better grammar than that.

@Dimethy, you have to reach certain requirements to get a URL like yours. For example, I'm stuck with the one I showed in the thread because I don't have the custom URL requirements, but when I reach them I can become something like youtube.com/user/CubeSquared2 or something, since you can't use a squared sign in a URL. ROBLOX supposes that if you have a YT channel you have a custom URL. They're wrong, for if their theory was right I would have a custom URL right now.
