Youtubers celebrate! Seems like the popular video sharing platform is backtracking on  it's decision on the verification system changes it announced last week.All currently verified YouTubers get to keep their verification status, and unverified YouTubers will still be able to apply for it once they hit 100,000 subscribers, as it was in the past.

Only a single key change isn't being reversed: YouTube will actually verify that channels are authentic, whereas in the past it they have been less thorough.

This is all quite different from the original plan. YouTube had indicated it was going to limit verification to only established brands and the biggest personalities — people who were at high risk of impersonation.

It meant that the typical YouTuber seemingly had no chance of being verified unless they became a top creator on the site. Not only that, but YouTube would even go back and strip verification status from YouTubers who it felt did not need the protection.Whew! The backlash they receive last week must have been overwhelming. Are you relieved ?
