When on YouTube click button to search for channel links on SocialBlade.
This is what I have so far, but no button appears in bottom right corner that I can click to visit socialblade stats.

(function() {
'use strict';
getChannelId();
if (channelId) {
let div = document.createElement('div');
div.innerHTML = '<a id="socialbladeSearchButton">SocialBlade</a>';
div.style.display = "inline-block";
div.style.position = "fixed";
div.style.right = "2%";
div.style.bottom = "2%";
div.style.zIndex = '9999';
document.body.append(div);
let icon = document.getElementById('socialbladeSearchButton');
icon.style.background = 'white';
icon.style.color = 'blue';
icon.style.fontWeight = '800';
icon.style.padding = '5px';
icon.style.border = 'solid 2px black';
icon.style.textDecoration = 'none';
icon.style.fontSize = '14px';
icon.href = 'https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/' + channelId;
icon.target = '_blank';
}
var channelId;
function getChannelId() {
let x = window.location.pathname;
let arr = x.split('/');
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
if (arr[i].substring(0,2) === 'channel' || arr[i].substring(0,2) === 'CHANNEL') {
channelId = arr[i];
}
}
}
})();
I think I'm having trouble understanding the function getChannelId() {
part. I asked this question on another forum and someone replied
Call your function after you declared the function. channelId is just a string, it is not true or false, and you are not checking for anything, your if condition is very wrong. Why would you need a if condition for that in the first place? I would just get rid of it and of your whole function and for loop.
Any help is appreciate, thanks!
