I really thought I was just missing something but no, the YouTube UI really is definitely gaslighting you ‘cause on some pages the menu your icon opens looks like this, and on others it looks like this, and which page has which is INCREDIBLY inconsistent

either of these menu variations can appear on the home page, depending entirely upon HOW YOU NAVIGATED THERE

do better, Google

the fact that the latter menu gives you no way to go to your own channel, at all, is baffling - when I click that, that is, 100% of the time, what I am looking for

clicking your icon in the menu takes you to your “Google profile,” your name and email address do nothing

why
