If you guys could retweet this, I'd appreciate it. Let's get YouTube's attention, because there are so many people that this just isn't fair to. This is a needless change that strips so many people of a reward they worked so hard for.

I applied to keep verification, it's completely based on if I've had "trusted news sources" write articles about me, so I linked the four that I could find. How insulting is it to YouTubers to be told you only deserve your prize if people OUTSIDE of YouTube write about you?

Like, it doesn't matter how hard I've worked and how well I've done ON the platform of YouTube. What matters is if news websites have written articles about me. That's so arbitrary. In no way is that rewarding us for our success. What a slap in the face.

A video a day minimum since March of 2011. Over 5000 videos on my channel, 50K new subscribers in the last month as my channel is finally blowing up, and YouTube tells me not enough blogs talk about me to stay verified. Apparently being relevant on YouTube isn't good enough

I'm turning 27 on Sunday. I started uploading to YouTube when I was 17 years old. I have spent MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE making videos for YouTube.

Today is the biggest editing day for Saturday's Pokemon Challenge. I'm gonna try my best to just focus on it and get it done. I'm absolutely miserable right now, but I've gotta get in a better place mentally before the Saturday and Sunday live streams.

Saturday is the start of a live Pokemon Challenge with Pokemon named after the chat Sunday is my Birthday stream Maybe if this gets enough attention, things can be handled by then, but I doubt it. I'm gonna try and get my head together by thenhttps://www.twitch.tv/mahdrybread

With just how many people misread my name as "Mah-Dry-Beard", it would be insanely easy for someone to impersonate me in the comments of videos and try to scam people. This is literally what Verification is supposed to prevent.

I don't think you understand how useful verification is
