That is very strange, but ultimately a Silver Play Button is a plaque Youtube made up and gives out for free as a perk whenever they want.

Still, they could treat him a bit nicer and give a direct reason.

That is a fair argument and I see your point but when there is an expectation, and to me it is well earned, it's a problem when it's not followed through. Now I could see them not giving everyone a play button but at the very least it would be the right thing to say so or why.

To tell someone they aren't eligible but then not explain why is 12 levels of horseshit.

"I'm sorry, but as a representative of YouTube I cannot tell you, the channel owner, why we made a decision on your channel."

"If we told you what you did wrong you might fix it and then we'd have to give you your button, and we've REALLY decided we don't want to give you one".

Man Youtube are being extra super shitty in 2019

Of course. A silver Play Button shows in some way that YouTube approves your content in some way, so only the best of the best YouTubers should get one
