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

I don't really understand this change. What's the reason for doing this? The reason stated in the article isn't really clear. Can you address it?

Sorry for the confusion about the viewer confusion (sigh) – the goal behind this change is to help ppl find the official channel of a creator (since the old badge only verified that you had >100k subs, but didn’t verify a channel’s authenticity). This update improves that.

We KNOW they are the official creator if they have the check mark. And if this happen to be the case, why remove those who already have been verified, and change requirements?

No one looked at a creator with a check mark, and thought if they are unofficial clone or unauthentic, if they see the check mark, they know they are verified. But if you see an outlined name, there’s little to no indication if you didn’t see the update.
