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?

Our old system didn’t “verify” much except that a channel had 100k subs. This change lets us make verification more helpful for people trying to find the official channel of the creator they’re looking for. You can always appeal too & we’ll take a look before the change happens.

So I'm not getting any verification when I hit 100k? Makes absolutely no sense

Reaching that milestone is AWESOME, but the badge itself wasn’t meant to verify sub count, just to help viewers find official channels. You may still get a badge at 100k subs, so long as you meet the other eligibility criteria.

You're dodging the question. Nobody viewed it as a way to verify sub count. We all viewed it as a way to verify that this is the legitimate person, not an impersonator, ESPECIALLY in the comment section.
