To our creators & users–I’m sorry for the frustration & hurt that we caused with our new approach to verification. While trying to make improvements, we missed the mark. As I write this, we're working to address your concerns & we’ll have more updates soon.
If you haven't heard back yet, this usually means your channel is being held for additional reviews and we'll be putting more effort/resources into making the final decision: https://yt.be/help/YPP-review . Thanks for your continued patience.
