Comment on I didn't know HOW bad Google search has gotten.

Well, you’re searching for something that is inherently against Youtube’s TOS. You’re not supposed to be able to see channel ID’s for channels you don’t own. This isn’t Google Search’s deficit, it’s you looking for something that doesn’t have any relevance to anyone except a channel owner. You can’t do anything with someone else’s channel ID.

I am fetching the RSS feeds for particular channels, for which I need the channel ID.
Google gives out not only the RSS feed, but also the channel ID, if you click the menu under “share”, as someone else pointed out to me a couple days ago. You are very confused about things. This thing about it being against the TOS is pure fantasy.
