Yikes. This change doesn't feel like it's helping creators and users at all. Sorry YouTube :(

Appreciate the feedback–basically, we're trying to fix the fact that our old system didn’t “verify” much except that a channel had 100k subs. Now, we're making sure verified channels are authentic bc we want viewers to be sure when they've found the official channel of a creator.

Wouldn't it have made more sense not to pull existing verifications before the new criteria are ready? Feels like tech dumped a really avoidable fiasco on you.
