"YouTube comments are the cesspool of the internet, and you will lose brain cells by reading them"
Internet today:
"Anonymous and uncensored YouTube comments are the only thing standing between us and a dystopian surveillance state overseen by Google+"
I understand there are there are tradeoffs, but so much of the hate seems to be arbitrary anti-Google ranting.
"Here's a comment from Bob, and another from Alice. I'm going to ignore that they're not the same person and pretend that if you smash them together like play-doh you get a single hypocrite."
There isn't anything wrong with thinking that YouTube comments are often terrible while also disliking that google is trying to push their own social integration into all of the their services.
is what you meant I think :)
It is a bit amusing how Google+ can do no right. From my point of view, everyone I know uses Facebook and no one uses Google+, so that's the only reason this feature doesn't serve me at all.
