Oh dear-

It's being deleted in 2 days help me make a choice

Do third option.

So the email that's associated with my channel will be deleted soon, and there are two methods I can possibly pass it on to my main account: 1, Make my main the owner directly, or 2, make my other email a manager and use that to make my main a manager. The downside to the former is that there's a lot of risk. And I mean A LOT of risk. High risk being the deletion of the channel, or the high reward being the successful transfer of ownership. The latter is the safest option but i'm not 100% sure it works. There's also #3, starting a new one using my personal/main email, probably the safest option but the only problem with that is sub count. Help me choose, please.

1st option seems like it doesn't really have any problems depending on what you said, 2nd is a 50/50 chance of success or failure so i might not be your best choice, the 3rd one is the safest but it seems like it has also a risk.

it*

The first one has A LOT of risk, the second one is 50/50, the third one is just starting all over again.

hmm... since the first and second one have kind of high risks, the third one is probably your best bet unless you want to gamble between the first and second one

really high risks*

I'm no youtube account expert but, restarting is the best choice out of 1 and 2, 1 and 2 are both 50/50 no matter what, you can try to do 1 and 2 and get lucky (Which lucky is dead for me) its okay to restart, but if you ABSOLUTELY want to keep your account use 2 since 1 seems like risk town.

Hmm... number 1 could be it or maybe number 3...

1st option

i have had to do that before and it worked
