Hacker News Reader

The way that Google is pushing G+ down my throat has really made me more determined not to sign up.

The question that I ask myself every time I get redirected to a G+ sign-up page is What's in it for me? My friends don't use it it and I have no interest in using it as a glorified RSS/Twitter.

I think the occasional HackerNews posts are the only times I have ever ended up on a G+ page, in all honesty.

Yes, and on my phone it requires me to login to read a page. This is why I know skip any G+ links here.

Me too. I had to go in and change my real name to a fake name thanks to these policies. I don't want a decade of commenting history to suddenly have my real name because of some policy change at google.
