Hey. I just wanted to ask a VERRRRRRRRY commonly asked question. How do I get that checkmark? DON'T EVEN TELL ME THERE ARE A FEW REQUIREMENTS LIKE FOLLOWERS, BECAUSE I'VE SEEN CHANNELS WITH LESS THAN 30 SUBSCRIBERS, 0 VIDEOS, AND 0 CONTENT.
I just want to know if the Freedom Team can send a request to get me that badge. Now, I honestly don't care about the money. That's not why I want it. I would love to have that Verified YouTuber badge so I can set my channel up more proffesionally and have a good, stable, and fun channel for my subscribers, viewers, friends, etc. Thanks!

Sorry but the new rule is that you need 100K subs to be verified. The people that have the checkmark without meeting the requirements were verified before, and therefore YouTube did not want to take it away from them.

Not sure if I am right but now the only way to get verified is if an official network (Say your MCN) has to ask YouTube to verify you, there is no longer any YT or Google+ requirement, only a official company (Like McDonald's) or your MCN can get a channel verified, to do so you need to ask your MCN but unless you have a large audience you will most likely not get a response, that is why people believe you need 100k, you don't, it's just a lot easier to get verified with a large audience.

The Policy to get verified has changed a while ago. Some channels like some of the community team are indeed verified as this was done by Freedom!

In some cases a channel needs a certain requirment regarding subs or views, your google+ profile also plays a role in this part.

If you are connected with a network you could always open a ticket with the support desk and ask if you are eligible to get verified as they are the ones who can review your channel for this and give more exact information about it.

Following google finally removing the need for Google+ with there services any Google+ requirements are no longer needed. Do correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the change was made very recently.

Aye, it isn't needed but it can give an advantage if you have great follower base though ;)

Agreed, OP if you want to get verified without waiting long durations of time / loads of hassle, then try and build a large social media presence on a popular social media platform. Many large insta people are verified on YT with only a few hundred subs because of there insta status for example.

I am in the shadows of everything regarding social media :p

I am active on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and all the other thngs. But as for growth i don't pay much attention to it, i just like to interact with fellow gamers and if this nets me some followers then it is a nice extra :)
