Eleven Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) I did. I have multiple playlists where I add videos all the time. It hasn't asked me to do anything regarding G+ for a long time now. I never got them from adding to favorites though. Before, it was just a popup when I go to YouTube, or when I login. For the longest time it always asked me if I should login as my YouTube name, or as my real name (the Google account). It stopped now. Might have been some setting in YouTube? And uh I guess you're right Ethan. Strange, I do understand what each face meant when I read them before, but I just considered them to be the same on this post. I guess I can read them, but can't write them! Edited May 7, 2015 by Eleven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I feel from some folks reaction I must have my Google+ and Youtube set up fine as a fluke cos they all work hunky-dory. Still got my "deanbmmv" youtube channel from back in the day, alongside the Google+ profile with my real name (which, well it's the kind of social network where real names work best similar to FB). I'm kinda bummed that more folks don't use Google+, the Circles thing is great and their events emails actually work with the proper schema n everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangelove Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Compared to FB's 1.44 billion users? its nothing. It failed. And most of us only have one because we use Gmail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredEffinChopin Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 To be fair, many of those Google numbers are likely wildly inflated due to their methods. Many of those are people with old youtube accounts, and who just want to upload a new video, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 If we're going to debate the "quality" of an active user it gets really complicated. I don't really care if anyone thinks G+ is failed or not, I use it a fair bit. I think it's good for sharing chunkier content and isn't overrun with ads and crap that Facebook is rife with. The circles filtering of feeds is also extremely useful. The feed on Google feels well tailored to my interests, containing updates from android manufacturers, nasa, Formula 1, the oatmeal, a couple of celebs, game related stuff. In this aspect it apes Twitter, but the absence of retweet and fave mechanics means that you don't get as much of the chaff, spoof accounts, or comedy protest stuff like @WeWantPlates. The content feels more meaningful, more thoughtful, and less disposable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Google+ seems to have resigned itself from "the fight" and even though it seems it has the same amount as Twitter (which is crazy. How come Twitter's numbers are so low?), it's not talked about on the same level as Twitter and Facebook. You barely hear any mention of the service. Personally, I still think it has failed to actually become a social network ("none of my friends are on it!"). But Google+ has found it's niche, and it's what Thursday is talking about. That's a common thing you hear G+ users say when talking about Google+. To me, it seems it's more like a forum than a social network. A forum in the sense that who you interact with are not necessarily IRL friends of yours, but like-minded people in the know of whatever you're following. A social network like Facebook (and myspace before it) was basically an extension of the interaction you do with with your IRL buddies. The focus seems to be different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I don't mind having a G+ profile - I don't understand why people are so against it, you don't have to use it? the only thing that bothers me is I use my old youtube profile to watch youtube, but it won't let me watch anything with a mature rating - I have to log in with my google profile (real name) which I don't like.

Mister Jack Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I don't like social media in general. I don't even have a facebook, so I really resent Google trying to strong-arm me into joining Google+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 If any of you folks have a beard, I'm letting you know right now that you have shit in your beards. A recent study proves that beards are cesspools of bacteria, you dirty, filthy slob. ... I don't believe that by the way which brings me to the current peeve: Shitty science memes/fads or whatever you call them. They're usually spurred on by, drum roll please... social media! MJ has it right to avoid the shit that is social media where you truly learn how clueless people generally are (if teaching college students doesn't get that across first...). I need another heated and strained rotted grain and hop water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Don't you hairy guys get it!? Hair are like poop. They both get extruded out of holes from your body. They can come out as particulates as well. Haven't you wondered what the dark stuff that appears when you rub your skin enough is!? It's rolled up accumulated skin shit! Cleanse your skin of hair to get yourself 98% cleaner* today! *Methods to shut down feces production in the works. As for urine, it is widely known that your body can just absorb it back and you just sweat it out. Aaaaand yeah.

Mister Jack Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) I absolutely despise the doomsday prepper subculture. If they kept their lunacy to themselves it would be easy enough to ignore, but no, they have to get on the internet and spread their insane theories and predictions on their facebooks or their personal blogs or what have you. Predictions, by the way, which are pretty much always based on either junk science, cherry-picked data, out-of-context quotations, or straight up fiction. This nonsense predates the internet, too. First it was nuclear war, and when that didn't come to pass they moved on to peak oil. Now that it's looking like that won't be a problem either (at least not anytime soon) they're moving on to global warming. Now look, I'm not saying global warming isn't real. It's absolutely real and it needs to be dealt with, but when you exaggerate its effects to such ludicrous proportions it does a disservice to everyone. People who were on the fence might read these tall tales and then dismiss the issue entirely, but what's worse is when people actually buy the garbage they're peddling. People ruin their lives because they believe this stuff, doing things like selling their houses or spending all of their savings. Even if they don't go that far, the fact remains that the individuals spreading this misinformation are needlessly upsetting a lot of people, and whenever they're confronted with scientific evidence that contradicts their beliefs they accuse the dissenter of being either blind, in denial, or even an enemy agent. These folks are not only completely convinced that the sky is falling, but they actually can't wait for it to do so. See, because they're soooooo smart and resourceful they'll be the only ones left when the shit hits the fan, and then when the dust settles they'll rule over the new world like kings. Give me a break. It legitimately makes me depressed when I come across this stuff, not because I actually believe it but because this kind of rampant nihilism doesn't sit well with me. It bothers me to see all these people who would rather roll over and wait for the vultures than even attempt to discuss more productive ideas. It's a cult, pure and simple, and it makes me sick.

CorgiShinobi Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 "I'd like to apologize on behalf of all ______" I'm not talking about the obvious joking way of saying it, I mean the literal way of someone thinking they, of all people, can apologize for someone/something.

CorgiShinobi Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I contemplated putting this in Angry Thread, but the underlying issue is a pet peeve. Recently had a friend get harassed because he didn't put a rainbow overlay on his profile picture. Some very "open-minded and tolerant" people got angry at him and thought they found out he has been a homophobe all this time. I know the guy and he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He has also used cartoon screenshots as his profile pic for over a year, so when he says he doesn't care about his profile pic, I believe him. Hell, I haven't changed my profile pic in over two years. Not everyone changes their profile pic for every occasion, even for a cause they believe in. TL;DR Don't be a little shit thinking you know someone from a profile pic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
