It should be easy to know when you’ve found the official YouTube channel of a creator, artist, brand, or public figure. So in late October, we’re updating what it means for channels to be “Verified” w/ new eligibility criteria & a new look. Details → https://yt.be/help/3QfB pic.twitter.com/JXOvMbkbns

So from what I can read, you decided to make this change because people are stupid and think being verified means they only make videos that are endorsed by someone/something? That seems strangely convoluted

Not exactly–the old way didn’t “verify” much except that a channel had 100k subs. This change makes verification more helpful, by looking at authenticity (you are who you say you are), and some additional criteria outlined here: https://yt.be/help/3QfB

I keep seeing this comment but I personally had to verify my channel by embedding a code in my official website, I had it well before 100k subs. Did this change at some point?
