It seems that the YouTube channel format with /user/ in the URL is a legacy format.

Also, channel URLs appear to be 25 characters long now and they start with "UC".

$this->randomElement(['channel', 'user']),
$this->regexify(sprintf('[a-zA-Z0-9\-]{1,%s}', $this->numberBetween(1, 20)))

Can anyone confirm this?

These two URLs appear to be 24 characters long

Also, I'd like to assume that the "UC" at the beginning of channels has something to do with the some sort of count, but according to a user on this stack-overflow post in 2017 it's been there for a while
