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
That doesn't protect against the huge losses verified users can be taking losing sponsorship, or companies being scammed by fakes can now risk because previously easy checks for verified channels just became irrelevant while said channels sit in limbo waiting for appeals.

Yeah, loss of sponsors could be a big blow to creators. Do these companies only look to see if a user is verified and not check out subscriber/view counts?

They can but it's much easier when it's quick visual and if info doesn't match up the know who to contact cuz can find that info quickly to inform the actual channel owner of fraudulent use of their name as its up to channel owner to bring up criminal charges if desire
