Description
We had discussed the possibility of ensuring that YouTube channel
(at least for those with X amount of subs) lbry URLs resolve at their vanity names. This recently came up as a source of confusion on Twitter: https://twitter.com/eevblog/status/1080609595289042945
This shouldn't be too hard to setup as part of the YT sync process.
