Thanks Google for screwing up Youtube!

[Bahamut]

Great. Since Google decides that they won't stop re-adding Google+ to Youtube, it forgets with everything. I removed my Google+ profile from my Youtube account and all I'm seeing is my email as my YT username. I went into account overview and apparently my channel isn't there anymore (but my favorites, latest history and likes are still viewable). I clicked on "create channel" and now I have to make a whole new youtube channel, and I have to use my full name. I've tried putting just Baha or something as my first name but I have to put my full name. I'd make my channel again but I don't want a Google+ account. Please Youtube/Google, stop it.

yes we all know the fact that google wants to be a social network site sucks
a lot

try fake names
everyone loves fake names

[Bahamut]

Well I forgot to add this: is there a way to fix it w/o having a Google+ account? Everytime I've remade it, I remove my Google+ account and it just removes my YT account as well.

I'm Ok with it, maybe one day Badspot will allow IRL Usernames.


When you think about it what exactly is the point of having a alternate name on the internet.

What possible downside is there to having a Google+ account?

[Mister Cheese]

You guys should stop complaining and just be glad that you can watch videos on demand on the fricking INTERNET.

Really, the format doesn't bother me at all, I don't know what you guys are talking about.

Because I'd rather not be called my IRL name over the internet.

Well for one thing, I never use it. There's no point in having it. Having it connects it to my YT account, making everything a clusterforget and I just don't like it.

[Wynd_Fox]

If you don't use it, then why care about it at all?

[Wynd_Fox]

Can you, like, explain what that means?

Children on the internet.
child enthusiasts.
Plus, who wants to go around under your name? Nobody knows you in real life, you probably don't want to know them either!

also, if I recall correctly, there should be a part in Settings where it asks for your real name, below it there should be a box where you type in a username. I've had this problem before when I deleted my Google+ Account, not knowing it would take down my YT acc. with it.

How are they not allowed?
