How do I/you do it?

Lol well it's not just you guys who have this problem, apparently. I think it'll help others who are wondering the same things. I don't think it's YouTube that confusing, since they no longer have the option to choose your channel type in the first place. That's merely for Socialblade and their statistics. It's not that important for SEO or placing in YouTube, though it helps to identify what your channel primarily is about. I think that's why people use tags on YouTube. It suggests similar videos based on your tags and what your video is about.

I guess it was important before now not anymore as the algorithm changes every now and then, that's why they removed the option currently.

When you first made your channel could also play a role in this, if you can only search for people on the site who have /user/ urls.

Also I guess its this, its definitely the case that socialblade is outdated in the matter of channel type, since no one has the option to specify it anymore. Let me check other people who has newer channels. Yep, interestingly, newer channels (last quarter of 2014 - present) just don't have it. O_O" *dundunduuunn*
