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

Can you be a bit more specific about what the new requirements are? Because it feels like a bit of a kick in the teeth getting an email saying i've not built a large audience when I've been doing this for 10 years and have 1.6 million subscribers.

Since our old system didn’t “verify” much except that a channel had 100k subs, we’re now focusing on whether fans need help determining that a channel is official (is it prominent & is it likely to be confused w/ other channels w/ similar names?). More: https://yt.be/help/3QfB

So if you don't identify it as a channel that's likely to be confused, you won't verify it? You realize that prompts a greater potential for fakes. Then you'd have to verify the person anyway bc now they're at risk of fakes bc you didn't verify them. This is dumb.
