YEEEEESSSSSS FINALLY  Quote: When Vic Gundotra, the head of Google+, suddenly announced his departure from Google today, many were left wondering "why" and what it meant for the future of Google+. He didn't give a reason for leaving, but according to a report from TechCrunch, the likely reason is a major shakeup for Google's social network.
In short, Google seems to be backing away from the original Google+ strategy. The report states that Google+ will no longer be considered a product that competes with Facebook and Twitter, and that Google's mission to force Google+ into every product will end. With this downgrade in importance comes a downgrade in resources. TechCrunch claims that 1000-1200 employees—many of which formed the core of Google+—will be moved to other divisions. Google Hangouts will supposedly be moved to Android, and the Google+ photos team is "likely" to follow. "Basically, talent will be shifting away from the Google+ kingdom and towards Android as a platform," the report said. The strange part is that both of these teams create cross-platform products. So if the report is true, there will be a group inside the Android team making iOS and Web apps, which doesn't seem like the best fit. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/04/ ... resources/also I failed my driving exam

Thank ****.
Get that shit off google, or at least give me an option. I swear every time I go to youtube it asks me which name to be. My forced account link that didn't even ask me with my gmail, or my youtube name.
Personally I would of liked a google social thing like facebook. But google+ is just stupid and you don't force your shit on people.

Meh I didn't mind it that much, sure got in the way a couple of times but it was not a big deal for me. I think as a platform it was viable is just that Reddit, twitter and facebook have the community already established and they do a good job.
In any case, nice try google.

Tbh I don't understand what all the fuss is about.
My YT experience hasn't really changed that much.

My YT experience hasn't really changed that much. Same here. In many ways, I even prefer the new comment system over the old one.

But I had so many top comments on the old system and they reset the old ratings.
