Keep the original clipper credited when an editor edits an old clip
When a channel editor edits a clip made more than 1 month ago by another viewer, for example to fix the title or mobile layout, the "Clipped by" credit on the clip changes from the viewer to the editor, while keeping the URL and the viewcount.
This means editors can't tidy up old or badly-titled clips without silently taking credit from the community members who made them. In practice it forces a choice between leaving clips poorly titled or erasing the person who made them. The fact that this behavior does not occur on newer clips, made less than 1 month ago, makes me thing that it's an actual bug that needs to be addressed.
My request is to keep clip's original creator credit fixed to the person who created it, regardless of who later edits the title or trim. If a distinct "last edited by" needs to exist, show it separately rather than overwriting the original.

I've been going through clips recently to make vertical versions, I've not been making changes to titles or to content, just creating vertical versions.
I find it very frustrating that people put the time into watching, participating & clipping my streams, for me to remove there involvement in this feature.
personally I would like to see a toggle feature added to the clipping system so you could toggle to credit the original creator or the editor of the clip, would be nice to see a system that credited both the original clipper and the editor as well as a toggle, since I know some creators view who's name should be their differently then myself.
