On the day I get Nerdrotic officially TM'ed. This happens. I am unverified.....good. Now you KNOW what channels to look for. Support Independent creators. #StayUnverified @TeamYouTubepic.twitter.com/AwAZkMUgPI

It means without verification these accounts could be seen as "bot accounts" and could be deleted or subject to suspension. Verification may also put creators' personal information at risk. As far as monetization I don't know that.
How odd. I know there is a huge issue with people downloading and then re-uploading the work of others on their own channels, but verification should be available for any individual to prove, yes, I am the person in this video, not just “big” channels.
Also from reading more articles, unverified accounts will be at the bottom of a search, meaning you won't get any views or even reccomendations from these account, i.e. no views no money, no channel.
Ah, I wonder if Google’s actively trying to silence independent voices then
Gary, Do you have a backup channel on a site/app other than YouTube(such as Twitch or http://Minds.com ) if Google decides to delete your YouTube account?
