As the title says, I know this used to be possible, but with the new layout can’t seem to figure out how…

Does anyone know?

Forgot to mention I did try looking for API calls to do such but it led to a few dead-ends. thought there might be something I’m overlooking, however.

As to why I’d like to do so: it’s a great way to find new channels for similar content.

From searching around, it appears to be impossible. Youtube took out a lot of these features in able to make it more like a “multimedia site” than a community.

Quite unfortunate. Especially from a company that used to want to organize all of the internet’s information (Google).
