What about people who make YouTube accounts under my name and use my profile picture in order to comment on things, pretending to be me? Now that I don’t have a verified badge, there’s no way for people to tell it isn’t ACTUALLY me doing that.

If you feel your channel needs clear proof of authenticity/meets the criteria, please appeal -- we’ll review all appeals before the update actually happens! And if your channel is being impersonated, you can report that too: https://www.youtube.com/reportabuse

These creators shouldn't have to appeal anything, y'all need to give some forewarning to creators before you implement changes that could drastically affect them and their channelspic.twitter.com/7Iv7nPaZA7

No changes actually happened today -- this is advanced notice of an upcoming change! That's also we created a form, so creators can reach out & we'll review all the submissions before making any actual changes.

You're doing something literally no one approves of. No one has said "oh cool, now we can't tell who's verified in the comments" This is inviting people to get phished by scams. KEEP THE CHECKMARK.

There are so many scam bots now, and removing the verification badge... it's free real estate for them.
