@TeamYouTube https://www.youtube.com/captaincomedy Is there any reason this URL, which for over a decade led to my channel, now leads to someone else's channel, which is under three years old? Is there any recourse or options available to me to fix this? I have 10+ years of links to this URL.

Yes, I've pored over every page about custom URLs on the YT Help knowledgebase. I'm still at a loss. Is any account able to claim any existing legacy URL, even if it's that of an existing username? Is it just a case of first dibs, finders keepers and I'm simply out of luck?

If you haven't reserved a custom URL, it can be claimed by anyone while legacy URL can't be changed or removed. Custom URL shows as c/yourcustomname while legacy URL is user/yourcustomname. Hope it helps.
