I learned today that you now need a G+ account to post comments, and all comments on your videos, or comments in reply to a comment of yours will no longer be located in your YouTube inbox. You can only see them on Google+. I have never used G+ and I don't like to. This is basically forcing people who post comments on YouTube to deal with a whole different part of Google. The only reason they're doing this is to get an unpopular site of theirs popular, and to find out what annoying ads it should show you. Please sign this petition to let them know we don't want this.


EDIT: Please share this. I know it's kind of annoying to share things like this, but it would really help out.

The feedback I have received confirms that many users feel forced into a system they never asked to join. It is clear that the integration of these platforms prioritizes corporate goals over the actual experience of the community.

Reaching this level of support confirms that many of you share the frustration of having our communities fragmented by forced integration. It is encouraging to see this many people advocate for the simple autonomy of keeping our platforms separate. We have proven that the desire for a better user experience is shared by a vast group.

I just uploaded a private video on a new channel. It's the only video on it. Yet I am forced to deal with a G+ page which I can't delete unless I delete the channel. It's totally dictatorial, unfair and simply sucks. I simply decided to delete the channel and look for another place to upload my videos without much fuss.

I no longer have a Youtube account, but I must say this new commenting section sucks. First of all, I now how you can't comment without a Google- account, but also, THEY TOOK AWAY THE ABILITY TO VIEW POSTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE REPLIED TO!!!!!!

Nobody wants Google Plus shoved down our throats. Keep YouTube and the social stuff separate, its not that hard to understand.
