Hacker News Reader

In Search, I see results I personally +1d. I also see blog posts from friends in my Circles.

In Maps, I see reviews of places written by my friends.

I rarely share YouTube videos publicly. Most of my videos are shared privately with Circles.

Google Play shows me reviews for Aps from people I've Circled. That affects my Android use.

I'm not arguing that G+ doesn't have value for you. I'm saying that it has negligable aggregate value compared to other Google products. That's why it shouldn't be a priority.

For example, I'd say that I use G+ more than 95% Google users and I wouldn't mind much if it disappeared.
