Google+ keeps asking me to use my real name. Jesus, do they not understand the purpose hidden identity/username offers? Seriously, who the hell would use their real name on YouTube?
What is even more obnoxious is that they keep asking me, over and over again, despite the fact that I have clicked "No" over and over again. It's almost as if they want you to accidentally click "Yes" one day. Seriously, STOP ASKING ME.
Google+ is a failure of a social network, I believe that before it became connected to YouTube, it only had 40 users or something, which is pathetic by Google's standards; so they drag YouTube down to hell with it.
They want YouTube and Google+ to be one network? I'll say screw it. Let YouTube be YouTube, and let Google+ be whatever it is suppose to be (a failed version of Facebook, I suppose).

I don't have a problem either (actually, it's a great alternative to facebook IMO), it's just annoying how we are forced to use it. That's exactly what Google wanted Google+ to be, they wanted it to become the new Facebook, but it failed miserably. Google+ will fall into oblivion like Myspace, and at the current rate they're going, it will drag YouTube down with it. |

There are those few of us who actually are not on Facebook but happen to be on Google+, but I guess there's no chance with FB's popularity they will replace it. They should just get over it and try something different.
Another thing is that since a few weeks the android youtube-app doesn't work properly, it takes hours to load with some videos that work nicely in a browser.

I doubt this has something to do with their updates, this may be just some bug.

Yes, it just occurred after the software was updated, so it was a newly introduced one.

Here a prediction I posted on carnivora:There are more things I could imagine to happen, like the +1 function of Google+ replacing the like/dislike function on YT (although this won't be that terrible, since I only use the dislike bottom for the videos on YouTube help).

It's almost as if they want you to accidentally click "Yes" one day. Seriously, STOP ASKING ME. Not to mention Google+ complains when your profile picture doesn't look like a person. But it's great that we can now change our usernames (before this was impossible). However, it's annoying that so many people abuse this to fake famous persons/YouTubers. |

It never told me that, I guess my profile picture (same as on this board!) has enough resemblance to a person lol

Then it only happened to me (when I retried it, it didn't happen either).

By the way, it's great that we can now edit our comments (one of the few positive aspects of the change)!

I liked the old layout better and I really wish they would just get rid of google plus already. It's a failed attempt to keep up with facebook and twitter.
