Change YouTube Back!!

**Riotpolice** · 11-8-2013, 10:28 AM

Recently, YouTube has just changed their comment system so that everyone needs a G+ account to make a comment. This new system sucks, and there seems to be no way that the people can voice their opinions on YouTube except for getting a G+ account and complaining about it on random YouTube videos.

BUT WE CAN CHANGE ALL THAT WITH A SIMPLE VOTE:
http://www.change.org/petitions/goog...-original-form

The website is currently at 40,000 signatures. Let's make it happen.

The power is yours!

Signed, seriously -- spread the word so that it's a huge movement.

There's no reason for Google to do what they are doing now.

just means less people bashing your uncrushable neocube video

**Charu** · 11-8-2013, 10:36 AM

This move is bizarre and uncalled for. Not sure why they're pushing for this, I mean it's bad enough Google is asking to use your google account + real name shit every time you go on Youtube.

Flat out locking a feature because they don't have a Google account is just stupid.

sorry to burst your bubbles, but signing this petition is unlikely to do anything (see: all of the other petitions that amounted to nothing). sending google feedback to whichever feedback email is more likely to result in action.

send Google feedback while linking to this petition.

I found it really annoying to have to uncheck the post to google+ checkbox every time I made a comment.

This is funny.

It's funny because every time I sent feedback to Google when they gave me the option, "I don't like using Google+".

Seems like they heard alright.

Besides, now we'll have #somanymorehashtags #yoloswag420

Btw they did announce this change back in September but I didn't think it would actually be this bad rofl.

are you suggesting that the option wasn't there before?

even if that was the case, it could have just as easily been observation rather than taking heed to a petition

woah a website I use periodically changed a bit and now I'm slightly inconvenienced

damn

**Dynam0** · 11-8-2013, 11:12 AM

same pros as having a facebook account

**Dynam0** · 11-8-2013, 11:17 AM

In other words it's redundant for 99.9% of people with a YouTube account. I'm envisioning Google taking on this massive consolidation of social media into one little package over the long term in an attempt to make it more attractive than Facebook. The fact that they're basically using the YouTube service as a way to force people into this idea is pretty genius on their part but annoying for everyone who just wants to use YouTube by itself.

slight changes can be extremely bad changes and can be worth complaining about.

Spenner · 11-8-2013, 11:35 AM

Signed. Stupid. I am not digging google's way of rubbing their dick all over everything they own lately. Signing in to make a youtube comment with my old account takes ages of fiddling around, and then when I go to check my gmail, it's ANOTHER few ages of fiddling around. No "sign out" that does what it says, no, it prompts you to "add an account" to your gmail account!!!!!

It's just so much shit that I wouldn't figure Google would be doing, they've been praised for the simplicity of use for a lot of things, and this is not one of those things.

ESPN changed their policy to where you have to have a Facebook account to leave comments. Good luck.
