Youtube's New Comment System

[TaskBarR]

Google+ is now being forced onto Youtube users. You can't comment without an account, and there will always be a popup asking you to migrate your Youtube to Google+. This is stupid and a terrible idea, here's my video on it. Like it and share it with your friends:

And here's a change.org petition:

This really doesn't seem like a problem, you can easily make a Google+ account and carry on commenting like before.
Also, why is it a "stupid" and "terrible" idea?

This update is pretty bad. Having Google+ as an option is one thing, but forcing users to have a Google+ account with their real name is really bad. I, however, liked it since I was able to change my YouTube account name to "Sky The Destroyer". But, the other things that came with it are pretty bad. In addition to what Rex has said, Google has also removed the rating system for comments. Every single rating on every single comment has disappeared. Also, you can't reply to comments that are over a day old.

Pewdiepie, apparently the #1 YouTuber in terms of sheer number of subscribers, has disabled all of his comments due to Google completely borking the comments section, since apparently his comments were being flooded with spambots posting viruses and such somehow being in the top comments list. Other big channels have followed suit. That's pretty bad.

You can also see people's personal conversations in the comment section, Some guy was talking to his girlfriend about his Mom, the convo was 40 messages long.
Please fix this Google.

My initial reaction the new comment system was

...and it still is.

What the hell is that?

I don't like the comment system but It's not as bad as I thought it was.

I also dislike the new comment system, but please don't go bombarding the comment sections with the stupid Bob crap. It ruins some of the videos...

Tell that to half of YouTube. It's all over most of the videos.

It seems we're in for a huge storm of CHAOS!

(Nobody got the reference. Aw. -__-)

[Colby]

You quoted it wrong,



Looks like we might be due for a big ol' storm of Chaos! Hahahahaha


But yes, in short that sums up the new comment system.

It broke through the comments system with its drill.
