Hey look a petition with over 50,000 sigs so far.
What pisses me off the most is that they've released an update and STILL HAVEN'T REMOVED 'RECOMMENDED FOR YOU'. I can't watch all my porn vids there because my family will find out. The company collects data on what videos you watch! I fucking hate it and they need to kill that feature at their earliest convenience.

Why are you watching porn on [I][b]YouTube[/b][/I]?
[QUOTE=Jojje;42796550]this isn't remotely the same and you know it.
look, i can understand a [B]google account[/B], that's fair enough. but forcing their failed facebook clone onto us? the fuck. nobody wants to use that, get that shit out of my face.
literally the only thing i'm going to use it for is commenting on videos and answering questions i get on my videos. and i could do that just fine on YouTube before, so what was this forced exodus about again?
it'd be like if valve pushed the steam notifications and comments onto the steam forums[/QUOTE]

I deleted it a month ago because it was useless.
On a related note they have literally removed any way to get to the video list of an account. You literally cannot navigate to a page that has the users entire collection of content.
They have been making this progressive harder and harder to do for some time, but it's just outright fucking gone now. That page still fucking exists at [URL="http://www.youtube.com/user/*user*/videos"]www.youtube.com/user/*user*/videos[/URL], but there is no fucking link to it. All that's left is a one line ticker of "most recent uploads" below tons of other shit and "recommended channels" on the right.
Fuck this shit. I do not give half a flying fuck what the recommended channels are. They are all universally fucking abysmal vomit I never want to look at. I do not give a flying fuck what a channels most popular vidoes are. I do not give a flying fuck what they have commented on.
You haven't been able to default to your subscriptions forever. Now I have to manually type in the fucking URL after finding the fucking obfuscated channel name just so that I can find the first part in a 15 part series I didn't get around to watching last week.
11/10. Yes I'm beyond fucking mad, and I'm not even talking about the fucking comment shithole.
[QUOTE=Teddybeer;42802605]If you have a Youtube channel and were to remove G+ and have been bullied into enabling G+ on Youtube the only way to get rid of G+ is when you delete your Youtube channel.
If your create a channel you get a G+ page. If you want to do anything on Youtube you need a G+ account (except subscribing).
There is no way to really remove your google account connection to youtube except deleting your google account itself.[/QUOTE]
Unlink them first.
Bing how to do it or something. Maybe they removed the ability to even do this. Who the fuck knows.

No links anywhere on ANY channel to the full video page. Some of them have recent uploads. Random ones don't even have that. Cyriak's for me is at the bottom of the page. Even if I navigate to the channel page directly, and not an obfuscated thing off of the homepage there is no direct link to it.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/F1Ftxri.png[/t]
Hell, I just noticed, the music videos, which is listed above his recent uploads has content that's not on his channel.
Out of all of the updates there has been, I didn't care about any of them, heck I thought they were fine. I love the new channel layout, the new front page, heck I even found out that you can change your name on youtube (not Google+ name changing, actual name changing on your channel), so instead of it being "ExplosivoHLBB" it is now "ExplosiveSilo", except for the url, still "ExplosivoHLBB". I'd tell you how but this update actually removed that feature or I just can't find it, you basically just go to your channel and click on your name.
Anyway I've seen people bitch, and even tho I've been fine with the past updates, there still were things that annoyed me such as all that empty space on the right side of the screen which I got use to and instead of being able to see your subscriptions new videos when you go to the homepage, it is now just recommended videos and recent stuff. I actually had to bookmark the subscription part of it so I didn't have to go through the recent video stuff and like the extra white space, I got use to it.
Then I started to dislike more features, such as the popup asking to change your name from "ExplosiveSilo" to "<Google+ name>", which got annoying, and didn't stop asking me. Didn't get use to it and never will, same with the recommended channels section, I don't like Pewdiepie, Game Theory and Smosh.
Anyway my point here is that I can deal with a lot of shit Google has thrown at us and still come out respecting them, but this shit has just gotten worse and this update proves it. I wish we could just get the co-founder to recreate youtube under a different name, so everyone can leave this.
Dailymotion takes forever to buffer so I doubt I'll be moving there and I don't see the point of Vimeo, hardly use it and from what I read here is that you have a 5GB filesize limit.

Yeah that's not going to do shit. Whenever YouTube gets updated literally [b]everyone[/b] complains but they never change anything back.
Oh that's just great. So that layout redesign I was bitching about? Yeah, seems like it only affects some accounts.
Looks like someone made a petition to get the old comment system back:

Add my video into the pile of responses to the comments.
I don't give a shit about them forcing google+ on us. You want to force your dick up my ass Google? Be my guest, just make sure it's small and you use lube. Make it an easy, simple process to make a Google+ account, make sure there aren't problems and glitches. Make the changes from linking negligible. But they didn't. They made Google+ the size of a fucking tree trunk, covered it in Tabasco sauce, barbed wire and broken glass, and THEN raped us up the ass with it. Linking with Google Plus is a horrible convoluted mess that often results in duplicate accounts, and trying to get rid of the duplicate accounts often results in accidentally deleting your Youtube account, meaning YEARS of work simply GONE. When you DO successfully merge your accounts, you lose your avatar (which is a pain in the ass to get back, and when you do, there's visible pixel distortion on your main page), AND your inbox is gone. The comments are now filled with spam and shit, and more often than not the "review spam" page is simply broken, and doesn't allow you to approve or delete ANY of the comments. The Google+ "bell" is a clusterfuck of garbage and is vastly inferior to the inbox, which they've decided to remove comment updates from completely with NO reason to. You outright CAN'T reply to any comment made before the switch to Google+, which is unjustifiable SHIT.
The only possible explanation I can come up with for such a complete and total fuck up of integration is that the Youtube team is upset at Google's requirement to make them implement Google+, and is rebelling by making that implementation as fucking horrible as humanly possible. I can't think of any other possible reason for such extreme incompetence. ANY idiot could come up with a way to implement Google+ functionality into Youtube that's less intrusive than this.
I love the one thing about all this. You know, youtube comments were the worst because shitstorms everywhere? Well, Google did a good thing by uniting people with the hate to G+.
Well they put the video player size back into it's own button, there's a something, right? :v:

i love how it thinks the text is in german from one word :P
At least one good thing is that you can edit comments now.
I just noticed, when you click on videos to pause them, they don't pause if you click on the black bars on the sides, only way to pause them without the pause button or space bar is to click on the video, not the black bars next to the videos.

How is One Channel bad? I think it looks fine, looks the same as the other layouts to me.
What the fuck Google? Even if i have only one video and i barely use my YT account for video uploading, i really don't want to see it terminated. They also fucked up the notifications system, i rarely check my email, but it was way better when it just gave you a notification in your YT inbox, i mean, come one Google, get your shit together.
Oh shit, I can't reply to comments made before the overhaul, and it's difficult to expand replies made from before too.
[QUOTE=Scotty.;42808777]I miss Cosmic Panda...[/QUOTE]
I remember hating that layout with a burning passion when it came out
Right now I couldn't wish for anything more
I still comment on youtube but I don't bother with google plus. Why did they take away the reply button? Also, the HTML5 viewer won't let me change the volume, I know everyone thinks HTML5 is superior, but there is nothing wrong with Macromedia Flash at all.
