Update socialblade.markdown (#9857)

Browse Source 
Streamlined the page a little bit. Corrected capitalizations in brand names, corrected some confusing info (at one point it refers to it as a "social blade channel ID" even though it's a YouTube channel ID). Fixed some typos, shortened instructions a bit, removed a duplicate line at the end (since it's mentioned in the intro already).

Also in the example config changed "YOUR_CHANNEL_NUMBER " to "YOUTUBE_CHANNEL_ID" because you can use any channel, not just "your" own. Channel ID's contain letters too so "number" isn't really accurate, better to just say ID.
