"It should be easy" but now it won't be? Not following the logic @TeamYouTube.
So now I'm no longer eligible for verification and will lose that status next month. Even though, y'know, LGR has 1.2 million subs, 8 million monthly viewers, and plenty of coverage in the media. K.https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1174735005215420416 …

Sure seems like LGR meets the requirements, but then I get this email. Will absolutely be submitting a dispute.pic.twitter.com/lCMwZMZ57m

I can't imagine how this makes anything better for anyone. The biggest channels don't require this kind of thing. What it DOES do is screw with "normal" channels like mine that have actually had frequent problems with scam accounts impersonating LGR and spamming in the comments.

YouTube says they don't want to imply that they "endorse" verified channels, yet that's exactly what this move accomplishes. If only select celebrities, talk show hosts, publishers, YouTubers, and signed musicians are verified, that looks like a greater endorsement than before.

Replying to @lazygamereviews @TeamYouTube
I can't think of anyone who likes this move. We all came to this platform to escape that and find different types of media. Apparently it's good for Google shareholders, but sure spit in our fuckin faces, the ones who supported YouTube.

Here's the part where most people would say abandon ship and use a different site, but Google knows there's no alternative. No one can run a massive site with millions of videos like YouTube does, hell not even they can since they're still losing money per year.
