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.

But you removed authentic channels. Ones that had way more than 100k subs too. You could have had this change AND not stripped the verified status of many noted Youtubers who have been creating content for your website for decades.
