Allow subdomain to redirect in Netlify

link to channel via _redirects and CNAME thanks to Chris:

Hi Rob,

CNAMEs can only point to hostnames, not paths.  So you won't be able
to make "channel.marbletrack3.com" point to anything more specific
than "youtube.com" that way.  Redirects probably is the way to go -
those can point wherever.  Something like this should work.

set domain alias for channel.marbletrack3.com on a site you already
have here (that's like adding another custom domain, in the same place
in the Domain config) set up DNS of channel.marbletrack3.com CNAME
pointing to wonderful-bhabha-dfd1ef.netlify.com (yup, same place as www)

add this redirect to _redirects:
https://channel.marbletrack3.com/* https://youtube.com/channel/mygreatchannel 301!
