"It should be easy" but now it won't be? Not following the logic @TeamYouTube.
So now I'm no longer eligible for verification and will lose that status next month. Even though, y'know, LGR has 1.2 million subs, 8 million monthly viewers, and plenty of coverage in the media. K.https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1174735005215420416 …

I can't imagine how this makes anything better for anyone. The biggest channels don't require this kind of thing. What it DOES do is screw with "normal" channels like mine that have actually had frequent problems with scam accounts impersonating LGR and spamming in the comments.

YouTube says they don't want to imply that they "endorse" verified channels, yet that's exactly what this move accomplishes. If only select celebrities, talk show hosts, publishers, YouTubers, and signed musicians are verified, that looks like a greater endorsement than before.

Also, I find it highly amusing that YouTube themselves *just* offered to sign me onto a highly lucrative advertising deal very recently, apparently as one of a select few channels. I declined due to the advertiser's business practices conflicting with my views. Now this? Heh.

I say this as a rebuttal to the idea it's all about YT only wanting to work with channels that are most advertiser-friendly. They know advertisers dig LGR or they wouldn't have made that offer. Repeatedly. I don't think it's about advertising. I think it's about incompetence.

Anyway, rant over. Dispute submitted. by the way I'M BACK FROM THE TRIP! Met hundreds of LGR viewers and had an exceptional time :D Very ready to get to work on the next video despite the ongoing silliness, hehe.

I am so going to start a knock-off LGR. Instead Dr. Pepper, Mr. Pibb.

They could be following Twitter's example and have hidden additional criteria, like your profile picture needing to be your face for example. Or YouTube is just doing it's thing of continuing to randomly dick creators over, either or.
