New youtube comments just rolled out, and you will not believe the terrible news, to comment on videos, you need to have your account connected to google+, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Spam youtubes twitter with #bringbackoldcomments OR #nongooglecommentsnow THIS MEANS WAR! This is even bigger than the infamous hashtag war.
I was gonna make my own thread about this, but it's good to see I was beaten to it.
This new comment system is atrocious. You're now required to connect your channel to Google+ to comment in general.This means that if you don't have your channel connected, you can't comment, you can't receive replies to old comments, nothing.
And also, they've added hashtags to the comments. They've turned YouTube comments into a freakin' social network, as if the internet needed any more of those.
Google's really done it this time. I was avoiding connecting my channel to G+ because I hate the ugly format it forces on you, and it makes everything a lot more difficult to use. But now they've forced me and everyone else to upgrade. They've forced people to do something they didn't want to do, for seemingly no logical reason. Well. Freakin'. Done.
It's times like this where I wish cussing was still allowed on these forums.
There is no way I am adding G+ to my Youtube account. Not going to happen. I'm just going to have to go without comments etc, I really do not support they way they are trying to shove Google+ down our throats.
They've forced people to do something they didn't want to do, for seemingly no logical reason.
Nope. There is a logical reason for them doing this. One word, can you guess what it is? Advertising. The more info they can collect on Google users, the more specifically adverts can be targeted, and the more money they make. They want everyone to be using Google products, it creates a monopoly for them and as a result, they receive a larger part of the market share.
They have been moving more and more in this direction. See this, this, this, this, this..... it has been happening for a while, but users do not take not or care about it as it 'doesn't affect them'.
Remember when Youtube advised you to protect your online identity and not use your real name for privacy reasons around 2 years ago? Recently... they did this:
It was supposed to help clean up all the 'troll' comments that were being posted on Youtube videos. It was a complete change of face from the older policies they had in place.
Not sure about you, but I really don't want to advertise my full name all over the internet for all to see. My first name i'm sorta okay with, but my last name is something that I would like to keep somewhat private.
I hate new YouTube. I understand that they are trying to make Google+ more popular, but there's a line, and they've crossed it.
Google: You won't use Google+? Fine WE'LL FORCE YOU TO AHAHAAHAAHHAHAAH.
I hate the new comments I switched a video and it's like hey, message! Now I can't find a way to see the top comments ;-; They should just you know stop doing stuff to Youtube I mean the forced the design for channels, now this? I can't watch my videos anymore without knowing if I waste my time.
It all started when youtube got bought by google...

Religion, has actually convinced people, that there's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of the day, and the invisible man has a special list. Of 10 things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do ANY of these ten things he has a special place, full of fire, and smoke, and burning, and torture, and will send you there to suffer and choke and scream for all of eternity... But he still loves you.

I really hate this dumb idea.
Google, the one of few good Internet companies out there KNOWN FOR THEIR SEARCH ENGINE AND YOUTUBE, would branch off to something as terrible as a social network, which is horrifically named "Google Plus."
It sounds like a freaking SUBSCRIPTION.
Now they're incorporating it into YouTube?
Now I may not even use Google anymore.This is one of those ranting times where I really wish MCF had no censorship like in the old days.

YouTube used to be a peaceful place until the Google nation attacked.
Well anyways...

Sire I inquire as I do with most, but do you mean to gloat? For is it truly such a tire to reply to the host with but a simple QUOTE?
I really don't like this at all and I can sure tell that no one else likes it either. This needs to be changed back to the way it was orginally. There was nothing wrong with the way it was before. Why fix something that wasn't even broken?
don't click this link...

Google, apparently, has other ideas.

But because it is...
TT2000, you are genius.
The content of YouTube's comment sections are almost always so abysmal they make the most pretentious of subreddits look like a nice place to be.
YouTube comments and Reddit, two great places to find garbage on the internet.

The only problem I have with the new comment system is the fact that you can’t see the comment the person is replying to.
