Link to Video Owner's Channel not updating when switching videos #1485

@ghost

Description

Bug Report:

BUG: The link to the channel of the current video owner is NOT updated without a webpage refresh when watching several videos in a row. (This may not be the exact reason why it's not working, I am not a programmer)

HOW: Occurs whenever I have ImprovedTube enabled. Disallowing ImprovedTube from reading and changing site data for YouTube fixes the problem suggesting the problem is with ImprovedTube.

EXPECTED (/preferred) behavior: The link to channel when clicking on the channel name while watching a video should take me to the channel page of the owner of the current channel.

Screenshots:
example

/ ⚬ Context: This also causes issues with the ads on subscribe channels feature built-in to ImprovedTube.

Setup:

⚬ ImprovedTube Version:
⚬ Browser: Chrome 107.0.0.0
⚬ Settings: improvedtube.txt (json files aren't supported for upload on github issues)
⚬ OS: Windows 10
⚬ Device: Desktop PC
