Topic: Wow... YouTube sucks now

Invasion of privacy? Google owns both so they already have own everything you post on either.

But up until now, they've not been linked and people could not tell what you had on Google+ from your youtube. Google doesn't seem to understand that people don't want the whole internet seeing everything they do.

I'm pretty sure Google isn't forcing you to do anything.

Weeell... not forcing per se, but... if you want to comment on YouTube, you can't now unless you activate Google+. They can do what they want; it's their company, but they're nothing without the people that support them, and if what they do pisses off their patrons, then they're just shooting themselves in the foot.

The way I see it, people will just learn to adapt and accept, as usual.

Agreed, 100%.

IHH, what you said is true too. However, he who that thinks that way is only deluding himself. What your saying is that they want to be rude and arrogant on one site, but be Mr.Clean on the other. Personally, I'm more than happy to see Google thwart that type of thinking, even if it's only on Google products.

Doesn't change the fact that it's a ploy to try and force the usage of Google+ on people by Google, which I agree that, tactically, probably not the best of moves on Google's part.

I'd like to think people will eventually accept and adapt too...only it seems the hatred for this change seems more...venomous than usual, so it's still up in the air. It depends on what Google does in response to this.

Bottom line, they've gotten too big and a lot of people don't like the changes they've made. People are starting to look for other alternatives to Google while others just adapt and accept... hmm... sounds like America!
