What are the benefits of having a "verified name" account on Youtube!?

[Rose Reaper]

I don't know if one day I'll be famous enough so that people would impersonate me on Youtube. Is it bad to dream about it a bit? lol

According to what I know, it means nobody can clone your channel and steal your identity.
You also get a cool little tick that makes you look so cool and famous

It makes your e-p***s longer

This is all that matters. You need people to know that you did one pointless thing that makes you better than them.

nobody can clone your channel and steal your identity.

People can still do that, but they will stand out because the real one is verified.

Verified accounts can upload custom thumbnails to video. Everyone else has to pick from the ones YouTube suggests.
