It should be easy to know when you’ve found the official YouTube channel of a creator, artist, brand, or public figure. So in late October, we’re updating what it means for channels to be “Verified” w/ new eligibility criteria & a new look. Details → https://yt.be/help/3QfB pic.twitter.com/JXOvMbkbns

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

ha! If you feel like you received the email in error, definitely appeal. We're reviewing all appeals before making the actual change, to make sure we get it right!

You guys do realize yoúr going to have more valid appeals than if you had spent that same time simply going thru channels that this algorithm blatantly screwed up with human in first place. Verified with even 150k subs is pretty well easy to tell if original, let alone 500k+subs
