Google wants me to sign in before I can even read them. Am I doing something wrong?

It's googleplus page so it probably needs your google ID.

I'd understand if it wanted my login credentials to post a reply but why do I need to log in to read a post. This is ridiculous.

Yeah, my sentiments exactly! And I kept hearing about how google plus is a great blogging platform, it really doesn't seem like it.
