But it is impossible to create a page if you already linked your Youtube account with a Google+ profile. I did so because I just did not understood what that page was all about. There is no way back. At least I could not find a way.

Go to https://plus.google.com/u/0/dashboard and click "Create a page"

Yup this works. But this creates a new Google+ page and I have no way to connect this to my (old) Youtube account. I can create a new Youtube Channel and another new page but this had no effect on my old Youtube Account and the data in this account.

Youtube also defaults to my real identity if I visit the viste. If have to manually switch identities.
