YouTube Bug : Disclose Private Featured Channels

I don't know what wrong with the Bug bounty programs but I've found that due to this COVID-19 situations they wantedly closing the reports as duplicates.

I reported a bug in the YouTube Channels. There is an option for the user to set his featured channels to private.

Featured channels are meant to be Public actually. Ironic!! there is private button if you visit your Channel's Featured Channels.

Visit Channel settings and toggle off the button for the "Customize your Channel". Then, check the tick off the Private button. You see that the Featured channels will not be shown to the users who visit your channel page. 



But here's the bug if you keep visiting or reloading the featued channels page. For example this URL : 

Load it repeatitively you find your featured channels get disclosed. some times. That's the story of this weired bug. 

That's a bummer as reply given by those Google Engineers. This was the second bug that was closed as duplicate. I think those guys efficiency is decreasing :D

YouTube Community  is a feature that is only available for Channels with  1. Verified Phone numbers 2.  A significant history, more content for years. In the early June I started hunting for Security flaws on YouTube I was roaming around the features but most of the places have been found secure or already potential features had the bugs fixes in place. The Community Tab is now Posts So, I thought to exploit Youtube Community feature. I was trying to delete the Posts using IDOR attacks but it didn't work I was tired of trying various attacks but thought to compromise to the least "Privilege escalation".  The Security flaw... A user (victim) created a YT Community post, later an attacker while being an Admin of the same Channel has saved the HTTP Request that deletes a Community Post / Poll, then the attacker can replay that HTTP Request after he's demoted from Admin to Subtitle Editor  that would delete the Post / Poll. I exploited this flaw I tried after 15 ...
