Here are the popular YouTubers with millions of fans that are losing their verified status and coveted grey checkmark thanks to a policy change
Pro Fornite gamer Kiwiz has 2.3 million YouTube followers. He was confused how he could be un-verified, considering he has such a large following and a close partnership with YouTube itself.
YouTube personality Jake Paul has not posted online about the new verification criteria, but a glimpse at his channel shows there's no longer a checkmark next to his name.
Ducky the Gamer, a creator with almost a half-million subscribers, questioned how YouTube could abruptly take away his checkmark after eight years on the platform.
I worked for 8 years to build up my channel and grow a community just for YouTube to tell me that “I don’t meet the new criteria”
Y’all some clowns for this one 🤡🤡🤡@YouTube @YTCreators pic.twitter.com/4pGUecXpQW
YouTuber Kavos, who runs a commentary channel, has more than 1.1 million subscribers, and was told he would be unverified on Thursday. He questioned why YouTube was "making the most pointless f---ing changes to their platform."
I don’t even care about verification on YouTube that much (not like other social platforms) but WHY? Why do Youtube keep making the most pointless fucking changes to their platform

This breaks my heart. I hope it’s not real. But I’m seeing other friends tweeting as well that it is. We work so hard to try and stand out on the platform and this just sucks. pic.twitter.com/fzcztUh9av

Just got the email saying I won't be receiving it. 1.8 million subscribers, Last 10 recent videos must stack up to 2-3 million views, 300,000,-400,000 likes and yet refused. Its a joke.

Just got an email from @YouTube saying they are removing my verification badge on YouTube. They’re saying only creators that are well known and have a large following can be verified. UM I have 1.4 million subscribers and I’ve been doing this for 5 years!? Excuse me I’m confused
