Difference from other buttons[]
The award is different from other creator awards, as it is displayed as a small sculpture, rather than contained in metal casing like the previous two. However, the Red Diamond Play Button is very similar to it, since it has an identical design, but is made from a different material and is differently colored. It lists the YouTuber's name on the back along the sentence, "Congrats on receiving 10 million subscribers." The button is made of hard diamond, meaning it's at the medium difficulty of breaking it.
Receiving the award without 10 million subscribers[]
On July 25, 2020, YouTuber JackSucksAtLife released a video of himself getting the Diamond Play Button, without 10 million subscribers. This is a huge event, as YouTube prides itself on only giving awards to creators on the platform, who have reached the subscriber milestone.
After the video got released, YouTube fixed the exploit Jack used in the video to prevent other ineligible YouTubers from getting the plaque so trying to get the plaque using the exploit in the video will lead to a rickroll.
