YouTube forcing me to change my name?

[The Resonte!]

That would suck for some guy whose first name was actually "Night"

Night Billy

[Ad Bot]

[Katamari007]

Because not everyone expected youtube to make a drastic change such as becoming a Social Networking site.

My full name


how drastic :(




This is honestly a very silly thing to complain about

[Night Fox]

do you even have to fill in a last name?

Because not everyone expected youtube to make a drastic change such as becoming a Social Networking site.
So most people probably put their real name or a fake persona.
In that case if you wanted to do what you're suggesting it would require making a brand new account.
Seems like a bit of a chore yes? Especially if you have a lot of videos to re-upload.
Just because in your case it isn't a bother doesn't mean that it isn't for others.

you can change your name, but only like three times or so every six months I think

[Mr. Jelly]

3 times per 2 years, actually.

So let's say the Blockland forums had access to your full name. And one day you try to log on and it says you can't until you change your username to that full name.
You're telling me that you wouldn't complain about that?

[Night Fox]

3 times per 2 years, actually.

okay, well, if you need to change it more than twice within two years then you've got other issues to worry about, outside of your name on youtube

So let's say the Blockland forums had access to your full name. And one day you try to log on and it says you can't until you change your username to that full name.
You're telling me that you wouldn't complain about that?

use a fake name

[The Resonte!]

use a fake name

I use fake names
it's cool
...
yep

just think of something you would use in an blockland rp

Youtube isn't even forcing me to do it in the first place


Every time it asks for me to do it, I'm like "no thanks :)" and then I just click a button.

It takes like 5 seconds of my very valuable time :(((((((((((((((((((


Plus, I would hardly care if Blockland made me switch my username, I don't see why I should. Other people knowing my full name shouldn't make me feel uncomfortable

My name is Christian Trevor Brown,  I don't even mind saying that.

[Mr. Jelly]

Oh are we sharing full names now

[Ticonderoga]

Youtube isn't even forcing me to do it in the first place

Just wait it will come.

[The Resonte!]

My name is Christian Trevor Brown,  I don't even mind saying that.

some people are
like are worried of stalkers
and people who find you
and rape victims
etc

[Kingdaro]

"Monstercat Media"
and like I said I'm sure youtube can make adjustments for businesses, and the same for popular uploaders

so in that case, they're basically forcing people to put spaces in their name

just as stupid as it sounds

[Katamari007]

Oh no they know my name



THEY'RE GOING TO FIND ME BASED OFF OF THAT SOLE INFORMATION JESUS CHRIST SOMEONE HELP

[Ticonderoga]

so in that case, they're basically forcing people to put spaces in their name

just as stupid as it sounds

Not really because with the same problem Night Fox had, I'm pretty sure MonsterCat is not a valid first name.
