Don't think I'm in any danger. I have 38 subscribers. Don't think I like the idea of showing how many K rather than the number 'cause we can't see, "Almost 200!" A friend was very worried about his vlogging channel till his "Channel Administrator" called and said the new COPPA thing did not apply to him.

2019-09-26 19:05:20 +0000 UTCOn first blush, it sounds more like a way to keep out "new talent" or ideas that You Tube doesn't want you to hear - i.e. Censorship !

2019-09-26 18:48:33 +0000 UTCAccording to Hank Green the current/old verification 'method' is just 'does this channel have more than 100k subscribers?', so if I started a channel deliberately impersonating another person and I hit 100k subscribers, then YouTube would have put a verification mark automatically and I wouldn't have been verified to be the person I'm impersonating. But I guess someone high-up at YouTube doesn't want to say they might have named the feature 'slightly' wrong...
