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

Can we get some clarification on how many subs you have to have to get the verification? Right now you don't specify.

It’s not about an exact sub count (or views)–having a large community is 1 part, other factors are around authenticity and prominence, such as being highly searched or having the potential to be confused with channels that have similar names. More here: https://yt.be/help/3QfB

Can you be a bit more specific about what the new requirements are? Because it feels like a bit of a kick in the teeth getting an email saying i've not built a large audience when I've been doing this for 10 years and have 1.6 million subscribers.

Since our old system didn’t “verify” much except that a channel had 100k subs, we’re now focusing on whether fans need help determining that a channel is official (is it prominent & is it likely to be confused w/ other channels w/ similar names?). More: https://yt.be/help/3QfB

I don't really understand this change. What's the reason for doing this? The reason stated in the article isn't really clear. Can you address it?

A grey background is the most unclear thing to visualize a verification of identification. Who in this world would EVER put those 2 things together?
