Fans confused after Tana Mongeau loses YouTube verification Instagram: tanamongeauControversial YouTuber Tana Mongeau may have gone one step too far this time in the eyes of YouTube HQ, as she has seemingly lost verification status on her YouTube channel. With 5.45 million subscribers, Tana Mongeau is one the biggest names on YouTube right now. Known originally for her comedic \u2018storytime\u2019 videos, the creator is now mostly known for her on-off relationship (and live-streamed wedding) with fellow influencer Jake Paul, her disastrous self-titled festival \u2018TanaCon\u2019 and for being embroiled in various other controversies. While being sidelined by platforms isn\u2019t new to Mongeau \u2013 she describes herself in her YouTube bio as a \u201cstruggling demonetized influencer\u201d \u2013 many fans were surprised to find that her YouTube channel had seemingly lost its verification status in recent days. According to Def Noodles on Twitter, Tana\u2019s verification tick has been removed from her channel entirely. Verification does not appear on desktop either pic.twitter.com\/wfzrwcOe9x \u2014 Def Noodles (@defnoodles) October 4, 2020 For comparison, this is how Pewdiepie\u2019s channel appears on desktop and mobile. Verification only appears on desktop. For Tana, it doesn\u2019t appear on desktop or mobile. pic.twitter.com\/ZymjxdMMzm \u2014 Def Noodles (@defnoodles) October 4, 2020 According to DefNoodles, the deverification of Mongeau\u2019s YouTube channel can be problematic for her career because YouTube tends to prioritize content from verified sources in algorithm placement. This then means that without verification, Mongeau\u2019s content will be greatly impacted in terms of how they rank on YouTube\u2019s algorithms. Fans had a mixed response to Mongeau\u2019s apparent deverification. Some fans were confused, with one questioning why other problematic stars like Jake Paul, Jeffree Star, Trish Paytas remain verified. YouTubers are verified? If that is true, why is Logan Paul, Jeffree Star, Trish Paytas still verified? \u2014 Terri-Lee Plante (@tlp23rocks) October 4, 2020 Why did Tana Mongeau\u2019s channel get unverified? There is a lot of speculation surrounding YouTube\u2019s decision to verify Mongeau\u2019s YouTube channel. Many fans are suggesting that the reason she was deverified wasn\u2019t based on her actions, but on more of a technicality. Namely, that she changed her YouTube name to Tana Paul following her marriage before changing it back to Tana Mongeau after the marriage broke down. It\u2019s because she changed her name to Tana Paul and back to Tana Mongeau. I\u2019m pretty sure it hasn\u2019t been verified since she changed it. \u2014 POCHAMA MIA (@NickPochama) October 4, 2020 Alternatively, it is plausible that her unverification is the result of her latest controversy, which many have suggested is a possible breach of US electoral law. In October, Mongeau promised fans a \u2018reward\u2019 if they sent her proof they voted for Joe Biden in the US Elections. However, in sixteen US states, it is a crime to share a photo of who you vote for. Her pledge to send photos to fans who vote for Biden is also argued to be a breach of electoral laws on vote buying, which is also illegal in 13 US states. Given Mongeau\u2019s controversial past, it is near-impossible to say the reason behind her unverification. Mongeau is yet to respond to the news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
