Sites like youtube are owned by google, so it can be confusing which site to use. I would go with google since you can log in to many other areas with the same un/pw.
Also some sites do force you to use special symbols, so now I just always include the same one. If a site doesn't allow it, I just don't use it.
Counting out the number of letter in your un and site name takes too long, so I's just count the site name and add some number to that (cont)
(cont) eg., sitename.org un:blah can become aH$8MvlE2Em
Which is the last two letters of un, special symbol added, the wildcards Mv added.
Next part is then last two letter from site name, where I change the letter before m to l (the preceding letter), then add 4 to 8 to get 12 and only use the last digit. followed by more wildcards.
The +4 is just random and part of this formula to help speed up typing it out instead of more counting. (cont...)
(The wildcards here are from the mnemonic for remembing the order of the planets - My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas, or Mercury, Venus, Earth, etc.) mvemjsunp
Additional note, some site names are long, such as howsecureismypassword. net, so you can make a rule that for 10 or more letters, just use a 0 to speed up tying out the password.
Another thing is that you can often log in with either a un or email, so that can be an issue to be resolved.

An example of why a system that can use special characters is difficult to implement
Sony Online Entertainment
Password Requirements:
-8-15 characters in length
-Alphanumeric (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), and supports the following special characters: !"#$%
-At least one number (0-9) required
[Note that you can only use a select set of special characters]
If you have a system that allows for it, here it might break apart because, only *some* special characters are allowed, but not all.
