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 …
Dear Youtube: We as creators beg you to ABANDON the plan to remove the verification badge from so many channels. Please, it may not mean much to you but it means a lot to us creators. We beg you to not just wait on this but to TOTALLY ABANDON PLANS TO REMOVE VERIFICATION!!!
