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.

yes but it did verify the channels authenticity. if I changed my channel name I'd get my verification removed, making impersonation pretty hard. and this is much more of an 'endorsement' than the prev rules. a blanket sub threshold makes yt impartial. hand picked = endorsement.
