Additional clarification:
No one lost a verification badge today–If you received an email that your channel will no longer be verified, this was just an advanced notice & you can appeal
The checkmark has never appeared on YouTube mobile channel pages (this will be added soon)https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1174735005215420416 …

What’s the point of this? And I swear the checkmark was there for serval months on YouTube iOS.

As well as the Android app. They're flat-out lying at this point.

It was never on the Android app. I just checked a few channels and they have a verification icon on the desktop but not on mobile. Nobody lost badges.

Try telling that to BlackScape. I only use YouTube on my phone, and I saw the verification badge on his channel well before he made a tweet about getting it.

I could be mistaken then. It still looks like BlackScape is still verified on the desktop version from what I can see. That's a good sign. Still though, YouTube needs to address these concerns. Creators that worked hard deserve those verification badges.

Agreed. In fact, I was planning on getting one myself one day, but that doesn't seem to be possible right now.
