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
As it says in the article, - Their stats show that a tick mark is associated with endorsement. Verification and endorsement of channels should be treated differently, fair enough. - It's up to youtube to determine eligibility for verification. 1/x?

- If a content creator qualified for verification with the old system but not in the new, youtube has all the right to remove their verification. If someone does qualify for verification in the new system but has still had their tick taken away, I hope this gets resolved.

- As stated in the article, the new method being introduced in late October will make it more obvious that verified accounts are legitimate. It's easier to replicate what looks like a tick on the end of your name then attempting to replicated a grey box around your name...

Change like this isn't uncommon. Growth of a platform and increased exclusivity is expected. - Scam rates and impersonation rates should DECREASE. - Channels that meet verification standards of an evolving platform should be verified.

To claim that the team responsible for this should be fired due to their incompetency over a matter like this seems absurd. I see no draw backs from the implementation of this new system, obviously with change it will take people time to adjust. This shouldn't prevent growth.
