Additional clarification:
No one lost a verification badge today–If you received an email that your channel will no longer be verified, this was just an advanced notice & you can appeal
The checkmark has never appeared on YouTube mobile channel pages (this will be added soon)https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1174735005215420416 …
So essentially "If you're not "Big Time" or "Family Friendly", we aren't going to verify you. Integrity to our users? What an alien concept!"
