Change like this isn't uncommon. Growth of a platform and increased exclusivity is expected. - Scam rates and impersonation rates should DECREASE. - Channels that meet verification standards of an evolving platform should be verified.
I don't see how scam rates will decrease if large content creators have their verification removed, it only opens up more opportunity for bad actors to impersonate them, and given that YouTube already has a problem with scams in the comment section, the problem will only worsen.

No major content creators are arguing for or actually want this change. Sure, you can't just do everything they say and expect a perfect system, but a change like this definitely requires a community conversation given the effects that it could potentially have.

For many affected, this is their livelihoods being impacted, creators having another threat to watch out for. Alongside other sweeping changes, YouTubers now have to be more vigilant in regards to reporting impersonation, especially in regards to channels reuploading content.

Again, apply the new rules to new channels going forward. Nothing wrong with that, really. But going back and un-verifying established channels is a destructive move, which is why I absolutely oppose it.
