Thanks for the tag, custom URL can be claimed by anyone as long as it's available which is different to a legacy URL which can't be changed & depends on when your channel was created. More about channel URL here: https://yt.be/help/LYia
@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?
