Does anybody know how to find youtube channel links from before they changed it to have the @ of the channel? They changed it pretty recently so whenever I wanna go to wayback machine it doesn’t really show captures from before late 2022 or whenever @'s were introduced.

There’s probably a simpler way to do this, but if you run the channel URL through yt-dlp (commandline video downloader) it’ll make a .json file for the channel.
In the file it’ll have sections titled “channel_url” and “uploader_url”. The channel url will be the one formatted like youtube.com/channel/UC-----
% yt-dlp --print playlist:channel_url -I 0 https://www.youtube.com/@nasa https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLA_DiR1FfKNvjuUpBHmylQ
they started changing all of this as you mentioned, but I think the tips already posted will work
