So every month I get a strange request to link my site in Google Search Console to a Youtube Channel.

I then have to reject the request. Is there anyway to stop these requests by default in Google Search Console? Thanks!

Yes... link to the Youtube Channel.

What’s strange about it?

When you say “a YouTube channel” do you mean any YouTube channel, or some specific YouTube channel? And if the latter, does the channel in fact belong to you? If no, why does Google think it does? If yes, does it have any relationship to your website? If it doesn't, it may have been a mistake to associate site and channel with the same email address. Admittedly it may be hard to change this after the fact.

GSC has always tried to get all Google accounts linked up.

No it's coming not from my youtube channel but 3rd party channels (any!) want to link to my site. GSC shows the request on the web console for approval or rejection..

3rd party YouTube channels want to link to your site and GSC is asking you to approve or disapprove? Just how are they asking to link? Have you visited these channels?

Are they playing your videos? Are they using your Adsense code? What do these 3rd party channels have to do with you?
