Profile - YouTube url might be wrong.
right now the default youtube.com/channel/[name] but in some cases the right url is youtube.com/c/[name]
Can this be solved with an || (or)? How can I reproduce this bug and where should I look?
To be honest, I'm not sure. Just based on how people have used our system in the past, the free form social urls caused a lot of issues.
When I created this profile section, I thought we could be more explicit about making a simple "url builder" such that the user would understand what parts they were responsible for, and what we were creating.

I honestly figured c was short for channel but it's not the case. Given that, our prefix is just wrong.
potential options:
- make the YouTube prefix a drop down so people could choose what's the correct one.
- let them enter part of it, but I think that will lead to errors.
- something else?
We build those urls in components/my/ProfileForm.svelte so it's just really a matter of trying to get the UX right.
