Me too! I’ve never seen a response so fast, let alone one where they fix the bug. Definitely impressive.

YouTube has a weird legacy feature that lets certain channels set up redirects to other channels (but can be pretty easily cheesed to redirect to arbitrary paths, like the subscription confirmation URL). This, combined with another legacy f
