They've given zero real context as to what the new criteria is, how awful.
The new 'Grey background' is stupid. A tick next to a name is a universally recognizable sign of a verified user online
Weird move @YTCreators

We made changed to verification. Our new criteria prioritizes verifying prominent channels that have a clear need for proof of authenticity. We look at a number of factors to determine if a channel meets this criteria. If you were impacted, read here:https://t.co/mTbNU4Bba8

1. It's not a badge anymore.
2. Not set by the fixed milestone of 100k anymore.
3. Based on proof of 'Authenticity' and 'Prominence.
4. Lots of channels who have it are losing it.https://t.co/sMbQvu2sOF

I didn’t think any company could fuck up verification harder than Twitter, so congratulations to YouTube https://t.co/jlqVX0pMfr

As @loudmouthjulia notes, verification is an extremely important feature for creators. It affects which creators get top recommendations when people search for something on YouTube. https://t.co/uu3zdvefgI

I feel like it's a pretty fair reason, IMO. My channel's getting affected, too.

• 마찬가지로 YouTube의 조사에 따르면 사용자의 30 % 이상이 확인 배지의 의미를 이해하지 못하고 확인 표시가 '신분 확인'이 아니라 '콘텐츠 추천'을 표시한다고 믿었습니다.

YouTube, 구독자 10만 명 이상이면 지급하던 인증 배지를 신뢰도/저명성 평가 후 지급하는 걸로 정책 변경. 규정 변경으로 인한 자격 박탈 예정자들 때문에 꽤 시끄러운 모양. https://t.co/Dvg76cG8im

10月下旬よりYouTubeの認証マークが消え、代わりに認証チャンネルには灰色の背景がつきます。(GIF画像のような)
— こにこな?YouTubeアナリスト (@konikonaYTA) September 20, 2019
また、認証チャンネルになるための要件も同時に変更があるようで、チャンネル登録数に関係なく新しい基準で審査されるようです

Thanks for randomly taking away our verification mark, @Youtube. Never seen anyone gatekeep their own made up achievements so hard that they retroactively revoke them.https://t.co/APtWauzNhe

Apparently, you can appeal but if you don't get a reply at all then you just loose your mark with extreme prejudice without recourse, so this would be the appropriate conclusion. Even the language suggests that this has advertiser motivation behind it.https://t.co/voR53S1TET
