I'd rather live with differently sorted comments than give my address to a petition. Beat yourselves up. I'm staying with YouTube because, well, it's easy. 'Nuff said.

Say, how do you give thumbs up now?


Sure if its so easy, then why something simple as giving a thumbs up is mysterious to you? :P

Also you cant reply to old comments before the change :P

Well, you can't thumbs up or reply to comments made before the change. Ugh. Inconvenient, but okay. Soon new comments will be posted and the Google+ sharing opens up a whole new comment world that may even be more rational than the one already in place. Anyway, you can see the original top comments at the top of the page, just not how many thumbs up it actually got.

I don't like what Google's doing, but it's not as bad as you guys think it is.

Yeah, this is my point of view exactly

If we can get BIG youtube channels, like Smosh, RWJ, and ERB, then maybe, we stand a chance. Youtube might listen to the big channels, as the smaller ones aren't cutting it.


Exactly. In fact, there are people who say something like "It's no longer YouTube. It's TheirTube". Youtube's slogan is "Share videos with your family, friends, and the world." Google has completely commercialized YouTube.

Others have taken advantage pf it. TimmyTurnersDad was banned so he had to make a new account called GilvaSunner. SilvaGunner's account was suspended (terminated) months prior to TimmyTurnersDad's account termination.

For now, it is not too bad. But the problem is that corporate greed in capitalism leads to corporatism and corporatism leads to fascism or at least to the far-right. Mariogalaxythree's fear of a YouTube filled with censorship could happen because of that spiraling chain reaction.

This is exactly what won't happen. Fascism doesn't evolve out of capitalism - the two are hardly related! Fascism is mass military mobilization and virtual enslavement of the populace around a cult of personality and extreme nationalism. It happened on a large scale maybe seven times. Ever. Believe me, if things get too bad, we can leave, just like you guys said.

What I'm saying is, right now, nothing's going to happen besides some extra posts on YouTube.

And HRE, if you have a problem with commercialization, why didn't you leave all the years ago when that was introduced?

Its funny. America is a capitalist country. You people live in it and say how great your democratic country is. Well, now you dont like a very very small thing google does and you spaz out saying fascism (HRE), and it makes no sense. I get the feeling that you dont even KNOW fascism. Stygmax explained it pretty well.

Google+ is a joke, and you people make it seem like its a huge deal. It isnt. And if you dont like youtube's new policies, then dont go there anymore. Its like if your favourite restaurant started charging for salt or silverware. Will you make a big deal and sue them? NO, you will just not go there anymore. Thats how capitalism works. Stop complaining.

I'm actually liking the Google+ integration. Google respects your privacy more than Facebook does, and I do not give a fuck about Google having my phone number. Google+ is understated in my opinion.

Anthe, the point is not about whether people like Google+ or not, the point is that Google is forcing us to integrate our Youtube and Google+ accounts. I understand that some people like the idea, but many do not, and Google shouldn't be forcing us to choose.

You were forced to use timeline on Facebook too. Everyone complained. Two months later everyone was used and the complaints stopped. I think you just need to get used to it, blarg.

But timeline is an addition. It is not ruining everything that we love. Google+ is changing everything for the worse on youtube.

People found timeline "changing worse on Facebook" too.

But the timeline doesn't interfere with normal facebook options. And there was plenty of warning about the change. Google suddenly switched and look at the backlash it got.

Surely things are getting real when one of co-founders decided to complain about changes.

Exactly. I'm actually already getting used to the change. It's still annoying that we can't see thumbs up made prior to the change, though.

Maybe they'll change some of the aspects. I mean, there's been quite a bit of complaint.

My biggest gripe is now the inbox is completely fucked up with Google+.

It was good at first, but then it changed for the worse. Gmail changed its interface. I hate it. Some youtube videos won't work properly on internet explorer. But it runs immaculately on oh look, GOOGLE Chrome. They copied Apple's integration idea with google+, gmail, and youtube. They should have just stayed a search engine. That's their problem.

Good, anyone who uses IE over other browsers deserves that.

They work fine on firefox for me. But seriously, fuck IE.

Also, does anyone else suspect that the chromebook might be collecting all of your files to send to google?
