Additional clarification:
No one lost a verification badge today–If you received an email that your channel will no longer be verified, this was just an advanced notice & you can appeal
The checkmark has never appeared on YouTube mobile channel pages (this will be added soon)https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1174735005215420416 …
This, is mindnumbingly dumb. Many of the creators I follow who l were notified today have had issues with scammers and copycats. Now you have made it more difficult for them.
