Been doing Youtube for 5 years, I post 2 videos a week, 950,000 subscribers.... YouTube emails me today that my channel has been “unverified” because the verified badge is only for well known channels with a large following
@TeamYouTube literally no one asked for this 
A group of developers tried but google and alphabets (YouTube owner) make it impossible for them to market and advertise to there users so they where forcefully shut because they went no where and the investors dropped out of the project.
