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

This is an extremely out of touch decision by
@TeamYouTube. It SHOULD be EASY to know when you’ve found the OFFICIAL YouTube channel of a creator! So why, WHY, why the heck would you make it HARDER for channels to verify themselves? How does this help the viewer? What the heck?https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1174735005215420416 …Marriland added,

You are just opening the door for imposters to run rampant and shutting down all but the largest channels to have any way to verify themselves as authentic when commenting on other channels or appearing in searches. This just makes no sense. Very bad decision, YouTube.

Also, for the record, I still have my verified mark. Mine didn’t get removed and it sounds like I’ll be keeping it. But I’m still very appalled for those that did have theirs taken away. It’s absolutely inexcusable to just take it away like that.

Everyone who received the email still has their marks, but that doesn't mean you all will keep them :( Once the change is made to this "Grey background" - kiss your checkmark goodbyepic.twitter.com/5FS6gtICQY

I received a different email than the one circulating around by most people. It said that I'll be receiving the new "verified" look (gray bg but no "checkmark") so I will still be verified, unless YouTube further changes their minds.

Oh. Na you're good then. I suppose you've got enough going on for you outside of YouTube that
@TeamYouTube deems you worthy. But those who have invested everything into YouTube as a platform such as@NathanielBandy1@Nintendrew_@TetraBitGaming &@AustinJohnPlays are SOL ??

Oh yeah, I mean sure I'm relieved I'm keeping mine, but I'm also still appalled that they're making such a bad decision like this. It's affected so many creators that I watch and it's just completely senseless. I hope they reverse this or do something to make it right.

Replying to @Marriland @TeamYouTube and
Yeah it really all comes down to THIS right here "widely recognized outside of YouTube" ..... it's super sad that many people have grinded to become known ON YOUTUBE, but that is not enough anymore?? Seems so counter intuitive and will drive many people awaypic.twitter.com/943LElZa3y
