Discord Bot Verification System
As recently announced in the Discord Developers guild, users who apply for the bot verification after 19th August will not get the badge. I think that it was a good decision but not the best, here are my opinions on how the bot verification system should work:
When the user's bot reaches 100 guilds, they get a system DM and an e-mail telling them to verify their Discord bot if they want it to be in more than 200 guilds. When the bot is verified by the Discord staff team, the bot gets the verification checkmark next to the bot's username. The user will not get the badge at that point. Eventually, when the bot reaches 10K+ guilds, the user gets the badge automatically and the badge displays information about what bot they developed, for example the name of the bot, the amount of guilds the bot is in and more information.
Here's what I think if Discord wants to stop giving the Discord Bot Developer badge permanently:
While it was a good decision to stop giving the badge to users who apply for the verification after 19th of August, it probably isn't the best decision to make. From what I have seen, doing this has really increased the amount of people buying and selling Discord accounts, which is against the Terms of Service and I will be reporting them, it has also increased the amount of users who act so "powerful" because they have the rare badge. If Discord doesn't want to give the badge anymore, they should remove the badge entirely, from users who have it currently now as well, or make it as I suggested in the first suggestion.

I am also a bot developer, and i think it's a very good idea ; with your suggestion, the badge would be added ONLY to the "real" developers, who are loving what they are making, and not just for the badge.
It also gives the developer a reward, welcome, because hosting a bot and developing it is not a very easy thing. And above all to stay motivated.
Thanks to this system, the developer is rewarded from the moment he is really motivated, that he is not a "simple badges collector".3 -
I've been developing bots for about 3 years now and the introduction of this system really excited me - a new way to be rewarded for helping fuel the frontend of their platform.
Personally I believe If they set the bar a 'lil higher for the requirements, such as 1000-2000 servers, things would've worked out a lot better. There are just too many applications and 75 is way too low. It's more people making bots to get to that level than rewarding bots who are already at that level (unless your bot has some kind of partnership or affiliation with discord in which you got the verification before anyone else).
I think they could've done this a lot better than it was, and even if a lot of people want the badge when they have 75 servers, it just doesn't allow for real developers to actually be rewarded for the work they put in imo. I think discord should've treated this like the partner system and set a high bar for developers to achieve to be on a developers only server, and to have a developers only badge which has some form of exclusivity and sets a true aim for developers.
