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 …

We’re making this change to help everyone determine whether a channel is the official YouTube presence of the creator they’re looking for. Please know that badge or no badge, you’re an important part of YouTube.

Yes but the WHOLE POINT OF VERIFICATION is to prevent creators from being impersonated. Now it'll be significantly easier to impersonate a creator and this will end in nothing but harm to the people you claim are 'important'.

hurrah, so instead of looking at a name tag for two seconds you have to go all the way to the about section to make sure a channel was created in the correct date. It isn't much to do, but how is that better?

It's not laziness, I have no problem doing so. It's just not better and no one asked for it.
