Difficulty playing videos from a YouTube channel I'm subscribed to [Nest Hub Gen 2]

[111001010101111]

"Hey Google, play <name of a YouTube channel>"

"Sure, here's a YouTube Music playlist called" (it found something that was completely different to what I said, but sounded similar, despite me being subscribed via YouTube to this channel)

"Hey Google, play <name of a YouTube channel>"

It took a note of what I just said. I didn't ask it to take a note.

"Hey Google, play <name of a YouTube channel>"

And then it understood and played the right thing.

I have to specifically ask it to play YouTube videos.

Why can't it just ask me, "do you want YouTube radio, or videos?"

Or check whether what i searched for matches songs, or my YouTube subscriptions, and play what matches best, or if in doubt, ask me? "Did you mean, <name of YouTube channel>?"
