Youtube comments now on Google+ only

madanki

So now Youtube decides to automatically move all my comment alerts into my Google+ account, why? With that incredibly intelligent wise logic why not move all my Google+ comments into my Youtube account.

This is just annoying me beyond reason. What's the point? I see no reason why they even made this change, honestly...

Is there any way to remove such bs, I think the people at Google must have been smoking something funny when they enforced this penalty.

I'm competently with you.

After Google bought out YouTube the quality of the site has gone way down. I think you could just detach your Google+ account from your YouTube one through the setting menus.

I find it quite annoying. It's far better that they didn't put it like that way.

You can detatch Youtube with Google+ in youtube advanced settings.

True but with the new updates youtube is forcing you to go to Google+ ... I can't even comment if my account isn't connected to G+ probably in a few months they'll make it so you can't have a channel without it being connected

That was a very bad move by Google. I don't see this getting anywhere, hopefully they drop the idea of forcing us to use their crappy social network.

google=nsa, nothing you can do about it

madanki

I'll have to deal with it, like every other forced update.

At least the new Comment update is fun to read now! They update and tihs is what happens.

One of the most annoying things ever. I agree, they must be smoking some green stuff down there!

Google is going to overtake facebook.

1. You can't comment whatsoever unless you have a G+ account
2. They say that it will prevent trolling = made it worse by:
a) You can now spam comments. (I seen a comment like this, "YOU WANT TO SEE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS NEW COMMENT SYSTEM?") and just spam until it hits 8000 words. (So basically 2 university essays)
b) ASCII art is enabled (I seen art of Hitler, from Male and Female private parts, to troll faces)
3. You can now add hyperlinks to comments (add web links are now enabled)

Seems that only YouTube is trying to target to 30 yr old moms, but this is the internet! We don't care about these moms complaining about the trolls of the internet. There is nothing you can do to stop it. I won't be surprised that a lot of people will start to cancel their channels.

the hashtag system is just stupid

As always Youtube makes an update that nobody needs. Sometimes it's better not to change things that aren't broke.

madanki

In a way the new comment system is a little nice with the drop down replies, but everything else goes to crap. People disguise nasty links, spam ascii all over the place, ultra spam the no character limit (which also takes forever to go all the way down to collapse), top comments are never what anyone even cares about, the top comment feature also treats everyone like a second class citezan as if they're comment is worthless.

Edit: Forgot about the aggressive invasion of Google+ and it's army of derogative notions of forcing you to log into a website in order to psot on another that isn't even related - trapware.

Why do you even bother commenting on YouTube, you have better odds of getting a somewhat decent response after walking up to the hottest girl in your grade and asking her out
