After making videos on YouTube every day for 8+ years and earning almost 500,000 subscribers, I’ve been informed that my channel no longer meets the criteria for being “verified”. Cool. I’ve submitted an appeal. Cross your fingers. Seems to be happening to a lot of us though.https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1174735005215420416 …
Jerry from barnacles nerdgasm, has past experiences of people impersonating him before he was verified on YouTube, the impersonators were taking out sponsor deals under his name and would link a channel identical to his but it was not his and has taken legal action in the past.
