Lately, I've come across many problems with Google+. A bunch of people are ranting like crazy about this.
It's just really annoying how they are trying to make Youtube a social site rather than just a hub for sharing videos, and everyone is getting pissed off about it.

Pretty much everyone hates Google+ at this point, you won't get much thoughts other than "IT SUX" and "Dis is Bob ad his tank. They no like Google+."

While I do agree that the forceful integration of Google+ is a terrible move I feel that the functionality of the commenting section in regards to conversations has been improved. I dislike the fact that you are unable to default it to show the newest comments first though, and overall the changes are worse.

The whole 'Bob is building an army' reaction is pretty fucking annoying though.

Edit:

Also, I don't think removing anonymity is an improvement at all since it shouldn't have been a problem in the first place. Distinguishing between baiting trolls should be easy for anyone that has the capacity to express themselves, many people do in fact prefer to hide their identity when sharing their opinions and this might keep those people from commenting. We shouldn't always take heed to the weakest that think that nobody should ever be allowed to offend another human being, trolls aren't the problem, the way they are dealt with is.

Yeah that's been bugging me a lot lol.

And yeah, I don't plan on putting my real name on youtube anyway. There's really no point to that, and humans are gonna be humans. And fact that they force you to use a google+ account is pretty retarded too.
I agree with you.

I think Google is trying to make Google+ look like a "Ultimate Social Media Website that's gonna be cooler than Facebook" kind of thing, but I don't even bother with that site.

I remember Bob from years ago. For anyone who doesn't, Youtube commenters would spam on random videos with:

☻/ This is Bob. Copy and paste this comment. He will soon take over YouTube.

Why they had to bring this back of all things is beyond me. And my god it's annoying.

Google+ is forcing me to make an account and it's just fucking bullshit. It also fucked up the comments section.

The change is bullshit, as usual.

I haven't made a single comment since the change, I watch less videos than what I used to, and I can't check my notifications anymore.

You done fucked it up Google (actually you fuck it up practically every time you modify the site)

But on the main topic. Google+ sucks and it's utterly fucked YouTube in the rectum with a 50 inch dildo and made sure all the members felt the furious fucking too.

I think some people are genuinely irritated on the issue and are trying their best to change YouTube back to the way it was aside from shit-spamming the comment section and bitching through videos. I've seen tons of letters and petitions start to get YouTube to change back. Not everyone on the website is that arrogant, but it's a shame that the majority is.

For me Google+ doesn't bother me. I can get shit done with it's new applications wherever I want and have had some fun playing around with them.

But google done fucked itself up for the most part.

Well...this is only me but I don't actually don't mind it. I've been using a Google account as my yt account since day one when I started watching yt again.For subscribing and liking videos only. (Maybe because I downloaded an add-on/extension to get rid of annoying stuff in youtube. But not ads of course.)

But still, Google screwed up big time.
