Set up the ScofTV YouTube channel
The channel exists, and the footer points at it.
Channel name ScofTV, handle @scoftvhq, claimed 20 September 2026. A Brand Account rather than a personal one, so ownership can move later without dragging an email account along with it.
@scofti and @scoftv are both refused by YouTube's handle picker. The
picker is the only authoritative test — youtube.com/@scoftv returns a 404 to
an anonymous request and is still unavailable, so probing the URL proves
nothing. YouTube's own suggestion was @scoftv-o9z, which was declined: a
machine-generated suffix is worse than every alternative on the table.
hq is now the house answer when a bare name is gone. Facebook went
/scoftihq for the same reason, so the two read as one decision rather than
two separate compromises.
The link
youtube.com/@scoftvhq is in
PROFILE_LINKS in src/lib/site.ts, which renders in the footer beside the
standing pages and carries rel="me" — the standard assertion that the same
person owns both ends. That is the point of consolidating onto one address, and
it is why the link belongs in the footer rather than in a page.
