Lots of websites with menus on the left!

Can you send an example? I've only seen these foldout side bar menus.

YouTube, google drive, Any readthedocs site with more than 1 page

Well, the youtube menu is most likely positioned there because they dont want people to use it.

Every site in the early 2000s had a left nav menu

Wikipedia, especially the new design with the table of contents in the sidebar.

I'm looking at a page right now that has some buttons for "Subscribe, Create a post, Block community" on the side. But I guess it's on the right side and maybe since they're buttons it doesn't count as a menu.

To be fair, those are less a nav bar and more contextual content. You likely also have the main nav bar along the top.
