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.

How could this actually be an issue though? With or without verification it’s obvious what the official account is based on the subscribers, amount of videos/views and is likely the top search term if you spelt the channel right.

This is entirely unnecessary and is only there to insult the creators and there hard work and dedication for your platform. The same creators who have been working for years who are already suffering and demotivated enough with all your other restraints and broken punishments.
