Youtube Google+ Linking

[EMWISE94]

As far as I've seen... there's a MASSIVE amount of backlash to this whole thing, people are not pleased, so who knows, maybe Google might revert the system but right now... the comment areas are hell, walls of text, virus/scare links, ASCII pics of dicks and what not...

this atrocity.....
it has forcinbly without question linked my account with my gmail, and tnhe with google+ account i didnt even knew i had, and now i gave up commenting. besides, its not like i could ever read the replies, since the inbox is disabled and the G+ does not even recieve the messages.
When you think they cant mess up more, google happens.


remmeber when googles tagline was "don't be evil"? i think it just changed to "Be evil".

Its stupid, the comments section is just full of 'dildoface has shared this on google+' notifications. That's more useless than 'first'.

actually, it even says "didloface was the first to share this on google+", so in a sense it is a "first".

Anyone know of other video streaming websites? We should just ditch youtube all together.

vimeo is quite a competitor now. i know plenty of peopel who moved there when the gmail account crap happened. Blip.tv is also quite a video service, but its much harder to navigate.

You know, I just realized what everyone was talking about. See, I connected my Google+ account to YouTube a while ago and forgot about it, so I didn't need to register for the comments thingie now and couldn't understand what people were talking about.

The only problem with Vimeo is that they don't allow gaming vids. I think I can get away with it though, as I actually make short films (flight sim), heavily edited and usually with an underlying theme.

If vimeo took off the restrictions on certain content, they could have a winner. Currently though, Vimeo is full of some very high quality stuff, I'm not sure they want to become a home for all the fucktards on YouTube!!

Yea I'm just not commenting any more it seems.

I'm guessing Google+ failed so badly, they are trying to feel better about themselves by forcing people over from Youtube.

A co-founder of youtube finally made his first post since his very first upload on youtube in 2005. 8 years have passed, this is what he had to say:

ah, i didnt knew that. yeah such restriction looks silly. Though vimeo is one of many services that coudl step up. problem is people actually seem to be choking it up and using the new system now. i havent posted a single comment on new system except couple complaining that i cant reply to people who quoted me.

To be honest, i watch most videos on Escapists (who seems to host thier own videos). I rarely use Youtube, though i will use it more now as Jim Sterlings Channel is fun thing.

OK, here's a pretty big note. The co-founder of YouTube has only ever made two posts on YouTube. The first one was the first video ever posted to YouTube.

The second was him wondering why the fleep he needs a Google+ account.

As you can see here. [http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/nov/08/youtube-cofounder-why-the-fuck-do-i-need-a-google-account-to-comment]

This is just rich. And you just gotta love how even with Google forcing Google+ onto all of their services, they're *still* not even reaching half of Facebook's daily users. Shit, a quarter even, if that only 10 million daily users thing is correct (which it no doubt is, if you don't count the inflated users that are forced into it).

UPDATE!: Ok, it may just be for the Burial at Sea trailer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6U2tE62goc], but it seems that the old commenting system is back!

For that video... but Google may say that is a bug and fix it sometime.

We can hope though.

Dunno about that. Same thing is going on with Everything Wrong With: Titanic [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb5VtLL-JqU]. Still can't do anything with comments made prior [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdNrs9RLn_Q] to the flip though, and as far as I can tell, you still need Google+ to do anything with the comments.

Recently I came across a comment that contained 4894 words and was about erotic MLP fanfiction.

Yeah, getting rid of the 500 character limit? Not the best move.
