has ANYONE gotten a verification badge with the new rules?

[CrackerXXL]

what the fuck do they mean with "authentic and complete" now? more arbitrary bullshit to only verify celebirites and big brands

What if im an anonymous animator? I want to change my nickname but i dont want to lose the badge

The badge is important, people love vanity, it stands out when the video is recommended, im sure it increases the CTR% when it shows next to your thumbnail

I need to know if I change my nickname, will I get it back? even with 1,000,000 subs, seems to hard due the "authentic and complete" part, I think they now require even legal documents like trademarks and social media presence and shit, fuck this planet hell, i need to change my name because it sounds too dumb and childish and it may make it look af im targeting kids with the name alone, holy shit planets aligned to ruin my life

I would NEVER change your name and risk losing the badge. That is probably the worst idea you could ever have on YouTube (or in brand building in general). Your audience is going to have to re-learn who you are and you may have to battle for the badge back.

It's never a good idea to change your name. You will see a huge decrease in traffic...

not sure if i missed it but why do you need to change your name?

dude you need to relax. you’ve been doomsaying all over the place. Dont give up so easily if this forces you to rethink plans, thats what the forum is here for
