Google Screws Over YouTube Users

That may be it, but other unrelated places are doing it too. You can't comment on ESPN.com anymore without using your Facebook account. It may be more of a way to reduce the anonymous venom than to drive traffic, though in Google's case, it would obviously do both.

From what I'm hearing, the link to a Google+ profile has only increased the ASCII phallus comment ratio.

If that's true, I applaud the move.

I think it is really funny that now that everyone is data mining that all the powers that be have did a 180 about using your real name online. We were all told we'd be raped for using our real nsmes. It's a shame facebook, google, have now all decided stalking is fun

I just know I'm tired of it asking me I want to change my YouTube name to my real name

I know. Shit got fucking old. I put a "Stop nagging" sign up as my YT avatar in protest of it asking me every damn time I sign in.
They need to take that G+ shit out back and stake it in the heart.

What's this shit? "Update your channel to comment"?!?! Let's get ready to SUCK it! Guess I'll just have to put the below in my video description.

PROTESTING IN SILENCE

I regret that I will not be able to reply to comments any longer thanks to the asinine Google+ mandatory integration policy. Sorry, I shall not cave to them. So sorry.

At least the videos are still here for your enjoyment and I'll still add some occasionally. Hopefully they will backpedal on this nonsense.

Classic Game Room has posted their last video on Youtube, after growing tired of the autobot flagging of videos.
