It should be easy to know when you’ve found the official YouTube channel of a creator, artist, brand, or public figure. So in late October, we’re updating what it means for channels to be “Verified” w/ new eligibility criteria & a new look. Details → https://yt.be/help/3QfB pic.twitter.com/JXOvMbkbns
To be fair, there is that Content Match feature that many (maybe all) creators have that identifies fraudulent re-uploads. I was able to get re-uploads of my content taken down pretty easily.

That doesn't protect against the huge losses verified users can be taking losing sponsorship, or companies being scammed by fakes can now risk because previously easy checks for verified channels just became irrelevant while said channels sit in limbo waiting for appeals.

Yeah, loss of sponsors could be a big blow to creators. Do these companies only look to see if a user is verified and not check out subscriber/view counts?

I've never had that feature, so I wouldn't know. Either way, rather than getting into hypotheticals, I will just say that when I'm looking at results, seeing verified channels makes me more likely to consider watching. It shows they're established. Taking that away is bad.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
