Time to merge these channels, or is there a good reason to have two?

Hi,
Today i was searching in Youtube and found that there are two channels of
Wikimedia Foundation (the links are following). The channel which has a
verified link (the first link) has only a few videos and the other channel
has user friendly URL and more videos.
Can anyone tell why there are two channels and which one should i follow?

Hi guys,
I know we don't generally publish blog posts about Wikimedia project
anniversaries, but what's our opinion on running social for these?
For example, here's one for eswiki:

I think within reason this would be a cool thing to do more regularly, and
would add something to our SM repertoire as well.
best,
Joe

Hi everyone,
Victor just brought up this video from 2012 that might be good for
Wikimania promotion, geo-targeted for Spanish speaking countries.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ3QTgP3aPU
Thoughts on sending this out? Could someone suggest some social text? We'll
want to translate to Spanish.
Thanks!

If not too late maybe use an OA related hashtag for one of the OA
references. (I guess #OpenAccess is probably in use?)
