      Those were generated when yt rolled out usernames, and if you didn’t choose one yourself, it assigned you your nickname plus some numbers

        Firstname lastname was what federal agents used to use, the numbers youtube added numbers on the end after they redid their system. I think everyone has numbers regardless of what their username is and it might be possible but not easy to get rid of them.

          I think the feds use the Firstnamelastname+Numbers thing because of google rolling out these kinds of usernames as the default. If it’s the most common type of username it’s the easiest to fit in.

          Back a decade and a half ago, they probably would’ve used usernames like _Xx__Rand0m_Spork87_xX
