[Bug] some YouTube Topic channels are missing the playlists
Describe the bug
I am making a musik downloader, and need an api for youtube music. Finding those channels is no problem. But then only some channels return playlists. The channels all have playlist on youtube though.
Now whats confusing me, is that, when looking at the endpoint the youtube client uses, which I'd guess you probably use as well, the playlists are both on the same endpoints, at the same places.
This issue is probaply related to #302
Steps to Reproduce
To reproduce... well here are the links.
| doesn't have playlists | has playlists |
|---|---|
| Eminem - Topic | Zombiez - Topic |

Additional context
Ok so I think I have tracked down, where the inconsistencies come from. So if you look at those channels, that yield no results, you see that you can switch between "playlist types".
If you look at those channels that don't yield results, then you can clearly see, that you can't switch there.
What I did
- I looked at the channels where you can switch (the ones that don't yield playlists)
- I selected the option, where those channels don't show any playlists on the official youtube client (the url had
?view=1, but more details later) - I tried modifying the request on one of the channels where you can't switch the types, such that it shouldn't have returned anything, but it still did return playlist. => There could be the inconsistency

What I think the problem is
I think the problem arises, because the request is made in the wrong manner. Refering to the by the endpoint returned data from earlier, the data is given in pretty much the same format.
Now the thing is, that there are some Topic Channels, where you can't switch the playlist type.
- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPOUrPpYMpxQU_gKtBQZroQ/playlists
- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV0Ntl3lVR7xDXKoCU6uUXA/playlists
But then there are those Topic Channels, where you actually can switch the playlist type. These are usually the bigger ones. I haven't found why that difference exists though.
- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8JxlMZ9VPddCuQGwB49fYg/playlists
- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCedvOgsKFzcK3hA5taf3KoQ/playlists
So modifying the requests from one of those channels, that currently do yield results, to have the ?view=1 parameter in the url, they still yield results. So my bet right now would be, that the reasons some channels do yield results and some don't is, because invidious makes the requests with ?view=1, or does something simmilar, which causes the same behaviour.
Unfortunately I don't have the time rn to investigate in the invidious source code and make a pr rn, but I still hope I helped.
Cheers :3 also pls fix, I need it xD
