YouTube and Google+ "separating"

Post by DerpyTheToad Mon Jul 27, 2015 9:10 pm

Here is what the Official YouTube Blog has written earlier today:

Official YouTube Blog wrote:YouTube is built by one of the most engaged communities on the web, and you tell us when you want changes. Today, you heard from Google+ about upcoming changes based on user feedback. We wanted to give you an early look at what this will mean with respect to comments on YouTube, and to your overall YouTube experience.

The headline: we think you’ll like it.

Comments
Comments are super important to the relationship between creators and fans on YouTube. You love MyLifeAsEvaand Kingsley. You thought that latest video from Tyler was his funniest yet. You want to tell Epic Rap Battles who their next match-up should feature. And these creators want to hear from fans like you, just as much as you want to communicate with them.

All of these conversations should be simpler and easier to have on YouTube, and we’ve been working on that.

First off, we’ve improved the ranking system that reduces the visibility of junk comments. It’s working—the rate of dislikes on comments has dropped by more than 35 percent across YouTube.
With today’s announcement from Google+, you’ll see more changes. The comments you make on YouTube will now appear only on YouTube, not also on Google+. And vice-versa. This starts rolling out today.
Creators told us they liked the moderation options on their channels, like reviewing comments before they’re posted, blocking certain words, or auto-approving comments from certain fans. All this stays.

Your YouTube channel
This one’s further off. In the coming weeks, YouTube will no longer require a Google+ profile when you want to upload, comment, or create a channel. If you’re happy with everything as it is now, then just keep on keepin’ on. If you want to remove your Google+ profile, you’ll be able to do this in the coming months, but do not do it now or you’ll delete your YouTube channel (no bueno). Please visit our Help Center for further details.

We’ve heard you. Keep talking to us.

The YouTube team"

What do you guys think about this? In my opinion, I am happy with this.

Finally! It's always bothered me that Youtube accounts were tied to Google+ accounts ever since it was acquired by Google. I suppose for some it makes it a bit easier to keep track of both accounts, but I certainly didn't want a Google+ account, and was forced to create one due to Youtube.

Regardless I don't actually stay logged in to Youtube for the most part, but I'm still happy with this news.

I never comment or upload and if I have a google+ account it's never been touched, but I''ve heard people complain a lot, so I guess it's good.

What's funny is that I just made a gripe about this in my blog & here they are becoming separate entities again. Can't they ever make up their mind? Razz
