No one lost a verification badge today–If you received an email that your channel will no longer be verified, this was just an advanced notice & you can appeal
The checkmark has never appeared on YouTube mobile channel pages (this will be added soon)https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1174735005215420416 …

We’re making this change to help everyone determine whether a channel is the official YouTube presence of the creator they’re looking for. Please know that badge or no badge, you’re an important part of YouTube.

Replying to @YTCreators @TeamYouTube
People who I follow who have millions of subs say they are not eligible for verification because of your new criteria. The way this is presented is, almost nobody is a brand or an official channel, and it's like saying they're overtaking a brand even though they aren't sued.
