Instead of @TeamYouTube removing checkmarks, they COULD have just added a new type of verification for these high end brands or whatever the heck they are talking about. But that would make too much sense.
Can someone more enlightened then me chime in on how this effects channels? Can't say I've ever once looked for a check or verification, does it hurt how videos are shared or limit features?

No. It in theory stops people from impersonating you. But in YouTube's "clout culture" you're someone important if you have a checkmark. And since it is also NOW currently tied to sub count, that reinforces that culture.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
