"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 …

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.

Seems like they wanna limit verification now to a) straight up celebrities and b) people who their advertisers would most like to support

The more I think about it, the more I'm fine with it. I don't think being verified had any special features attached to it, it was just a badge of honor. Now it's a badge for who's a marketer.
