UPDATE: It's over! Google+ requirements for YouTube are no more!: [ Ссылка ]

No this is not me (do some research before assuming that) and no this video is not to convince you to make a Google+ but the opposite. Obviously now you can't comment on videos unless you have a G+ account and to Google and a few people out there, this is a "Great and innovative new feature that will make everything better!" but its not.

Since Google bought YouTube, they have started screwing up things here that were working fine before and that people liked a lot just to add new features that seem to cater more to themselves and their celebrity partners. At first it was fine because they left everything alone but in later years they began fixing what was not broken.

They took out the star ratings in favor of thumbs and they do not appear on video searches, subcriptions have a bug where subscriber counts mysteriously go up and down over and over every minute each day, the channel avatar appearing on watch pages being discontinued only to be reintroduced two years later, ads that you can't skip, awful channel layouts that no one asked for that get changed each year now and remove the cutomization we had before, Unfair flagging of videos with no real help from Google due to automated help or lack of knowledge in forums, and bugs that are ignored for more features or are made worse. There's more but there's too many to list. They also don't believe that the customer is always right.

Those in the Chad Warden community may remember the whole situation with the mass flagging of Chad Warden videos earlier this year. The flagging came without any warning and at a rapid pace. A lot of good, classic videos and great video makers were lost during the takedowns. We had no support from Youtube on finding out who did it, why and no option to counter claim. They were worried about more "impotant things".

What boggles the mind is that if these videos were taken down for "Inappropriate Content" or whatever and most of these videos were around since 2007, then why were they barely taken down now? Why is it that reuploads of Chad Warden's original videos from 2007-08, which also contain "Inappropriate Content" and may have been flagged multiple times by Nintendo fans, Xbox fans, or people that just don't like Chad, have still survived and weren't taken down yet one person flags all the Chad Warden Videos that were only parodies and Youtube acts right away?

Now going back to this whole Google+ thing, you have to have your account connected to a G+ account in order to make comments. We could bypass that before but now you have to make a G+ and connect it to your YT channel to comment. No buts. Apparently this is to prevent trolling on comments by having people reveal their real names and sharing info.

Well there's still trolling on comments right now and you have the option to use your Youtube name and some can make up a fake name and then troll. Hell some of the comments are trolling Google themselves because of this new policy.

This G+ thing is just a ploy to get more people to join and increase their numbers. Later on they will brag about how their G+ members increased and that their numbers are beating Facebook, when half of them didn't want a G+ but had no choice but to join just to comment. Just you wait.

Unlike Google and Youtube's earlier BS, this G+ situation is receiving a lot of media coverage on the internet and a larger uproar than Cosmic Panda and others. Even one of Youtube's co-founders doesn't like this awful change.

Now the Ballin man from H-Town, that is all about the PSTriple and soon the PSQuadruple, who got his start on Youtube in 2007, challenges the current BS of the website that got him where he is now and its parent comany.

He has gotten on people's asses a lot about bullshit before but he hasn't been annoyed by Youtube's changes until now that the G+ comments happened. Will Chad Warden succeed in telling Google to end this madness or will it just be a lost cause?
