The change is being made in an effort to help visitors find content they are looking for as “It should be easy to know when you’ve found the official YouTube channel of a creator, artist, brand, or public figure.”

 

Many YouTubers make a living from their videos therefore many are unhappy about the changes that are being made. 

Beauty YouTuber James Charles tweeted: “I’m really sorry to the creators who are being unverified on @YouTube today. This decision is really pointless and it’s yet another change not a single person asked for. PLEASE know that you are still valid as a creator and I hope that a stupid checkmark doesn’t discourage you!”

YouTube wrote another tweet to say “If you received an email that your channel will no longer be verified” and they also said you can appeal against it if you have lost verification.
