Verification is something that shouldn't be taken away, unless rules have been broken. Taking away a preexisting verification is just misleading viewers and other users. Changing the criteria for getting verified is one thing, but it shouldn't affect those already verified.

@SimonWakefieldUK

4 жыл бұрын

It should be though. Verification on this platform is meaningless and it needs to be reworked, you can't rework it when way too many people have it already when they have no need to be. It should be 'Yes this is an actual account of a person/organisation in the public eye' not 'this is a random person who has managed to get 100k subs'. Especially when you can basically buy subs to get it. Now sure it seems some people have been caught in it who shouldn't as they have some recognition in the wider public (There are journalists for example who have lost it) but the idea behind it is good. The tick adds very little to anyone, some are complaining people won't know its actual them in the comments of their videos but even someone with 10 subs gets a marker to show its the channel owner. There is also the fact that the way it is isn't good for creators pockets. Too many people do take the tick as being endorsed, its why Twitter has removed it from some people caught in controversy. That belive does hit advertiser spending

no matter what happens mate you know we wall be here and to enjoy your videos coz i love watching you in what you do

been subbed for 4 or 5 years now, or at least watching you. No idea when I actually clicked the button. You are absolutely somebody who deserves to be verified. You made VERY good points in the video. KZread is screwing the pooch big time.... again.

I watch most youtube on my Samsung TV as well, it really is the pinnacle of the YT experience. Keep up the pace with new videos dude and you'll get to 1 million soon enough.

It's a shame KZread is going down this path. Instead of being a platform where people can grow, they are becoming a platform where "big names" are all that matter. I'll always support you Barnacules!

I’m subscribing, hope you get to a million. This is the first I have heard of it. On a side note I found your channel because I watch a lot of programming videos, and your videos came up as suggested video, so here is hoping for the best.

I just subscribed before reading the description but even so I am glad you got verified and hope you get all the subs you want for your birthday. Well done and best wishes.

18 hours after this went up, you still have the verified check mark. At least for me. I hope you keep it, and keep making content - been loving what you've put up recently! :)

Congrats on winning your appeal. Quality niche channels like this deserve it just as much as celebs or big companies on YT. BTW, if you haven't done it, could you do videos on how you set up your own YT based company, how you started and how you you run your business, etc.?

I feel ya man. KZread disabled the comments on my channel for SIX MONTHS in their knee jerk reaction to bad comments on kids videos. Except that I don’t have any kids videos. I don’t have many subscribers, still under 10k, but it is a 13 year old channel. I see you got this solved already, congrats. Mine just finally got solved as well. It was a miserable six months without comments for me and mine.

I've learned quite a lot about what it means to be verified! Hope you can stay verified, and maybe consider floatplane as a secondary main platform? Glad to see you being active on (not)youtube again, I've missed your content more than I realized.

Thanks for digging into this, Barnacules. I got the other email they've been sending out, saying that I'm keeping my verification, and that they'll be adding a gray background to my channel name to indicate it's verified. Not really sure why my channel is eligible and others aren't. One thing that's different about my channel is that it's been setup since the beginning as a "brand channel" (I think that's what it's called), which means it can have multiple accounts that access it. It's mostly a huge pain in the butt (lots of things don't quite work the right way for these channels), but maybe that gave me some additional legitimacy? Not really sure.

just became a patron subscriber thank you for your vids and your time you put in

For me you're still verified, so Idk if you got it back or the changes haven't happened yet, but anyway I only get notifications from your original channel so I know it's you. Happy soon birthday Jerry! I'm glad that you're back and you feel better, I was sad when I first found out you got sick and hoped you would get better soon and come back to make more videos! Love your channel, your energy and passion for your videos. Best of luck forward from me in Denmark.

I love your videos for bts info about windows and Microsoft. I think those are the ones that got me hooked when I subbed years ago. If you could do more ‘history of’ stuff with the insider info you have (obviously stuff that’s not under nda) that would be cool. Like cool secrets about the OS or stories behind developing it. Or how things work in it or what Microsoft is thinking/how they operate, I feel like that would be cool to see more of that.

Glad to see you back Jerry. Great content lately man!

Glad you're doing well Barnacules!!!

The crux of the matter is that second point, _prominence_ . In other words, it doesn't matter how many subscribers you have or if you're really you (who else would you be? 🙄), what matters is if you're famous _outside of KZread_ . In short, KZreadrs are no longer important enough to be verified on KZread. Now, only celebrities (actors, singers, talk-show hosts, etc.) are important enough to be verified on KZread. *Yeah, that's hot. That's hot.* 😒

I called this during the last big Ad-poclypse, it's like YT wants to become a cable TV network and this is proof. I don't get why they're impacting some of their larger creators like yourself that put out killer meaningful content. I have a feeling your channel will maintain the verified status thanks to your due diligence of refuting the unverfication they are trying to pull. In the end you make killer content and are a good person, just keep doing what you do best and good things will continue to happen. Between us, the viewers/subs, and you friends/family we have your back no matter what - Also might be time to talk to Luke about FloatPlane some more.

I subscribed, I have customers with true fear when they see the update on their windows 10. Oh and getting things you earned taken by corporations that profit from your work and government is just a sign of the times.
