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

No one needs help finding the creators they want to watch. Just another excuse to throw individual creators who worked hard under the bus.
