BTW, instead of getting the channel ID using curl, you could also just click the "Share channel" button in the channel description.

But then I'd have to open the URL in the browser which needs a minute to load, and then I have to click away several cookie banners or wait for an extension to do it for me. Opening a YouTube URL always feels like I'm installing an app.
