Your YouTube Channel

[Snagglebee]

By the way, is anyone able to send private messages? I didn't manage to do so.

You need to go to your Video manager first and then you hit Inbox left there.

She does not have G+ so inbox is still on old place. I think she meant to say she can't send it because of some error or something.

What I find really annoying on YouTube now is that every video has this in its comments:

☻/
/▌
░░░░░███████ ]▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ Bob is building an army.
▂▄▅█████████▅▄▃▂ This tank & Bob are against Google+
Il███████████████████]. Copy and Paste this all over
◥⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙◤.. Youtube if you are with us!

Seriously, it's one thing that Google forced an unreliable, clunky mess on us, but it's another thing to think that spamming the comment section where no one at Google will ever look will get it changed back!

[OCG]

Instead of just not connecting to Google+ and showing it on that way that they will boycott it, they think spamming will solve everything.

[Haruka]

I refuse to join to Google+. Only if they really don't go back in the thing I will do it as a last resource, so I'm keeping my resistance until the end of the year at least.

[OCG]

I will never join to Google+ on my main channel unless they "greet" me with the message saying I cannot upload videos unless I join. BTW did you recieve my PM test message on YT? I hope they did not start to disable that feature for non G+ users.

[Master]

I got an email stating that she was indeed able to read the test message I sent her, and was able to reply to it.

[OCG]

Good to know. I was afraid they will disable inbox as well.

Oh yes, I've been browsing about the place and blimey, I understand the need to protest, but this isn't helping at all.

[Keane]

Yeah I just saw a comment box that had literally nothing but Bob comments for pages and pages.

I'm not using G+ either. Just stopped commenting.

[OCG]

Who is this Bob character anyways

[Keane]

He used to be on a ton of YouTube channels with "Bob will take over YoutTube" I remember.

[Master]

Hm, a minor but interesting detail, they've changed the colouring on the like/dislike bar from green to a more sterile blue.

[Bradandez]

I want to comment again but everytime I connect to g+ my avatar never shows up. Why is that?

I can already tell, Sonic fans are quite happy.

Go to settings and upload avatar again.

It looks so modern and clean next to the spam and full caps hate!

http://www.youtube.com/user/spanex1990 here is mine. Although it may not stay around for long if Google continues to piss me off.

The funny thing is that this method of getting people to change - namely forcing a change on them - has been YouTube's MO for the past couple of years. It mostly happened with people's channels, where they would basically start with introducing a new channel, which would be much worse than the original, and give people a choice as to whether or not they want to use it. Then, after a while, they would say that all channels using the old design would be changed to the newer, "improved" design, which would be followed by a huge mass of negative feedback, the kind so big that only somebody living under a rock wouldn't notice. Then all the channels would be forcefully changed at last, and YouTube would present another, worse design and the cycle would continue. Now at least they're giving people a choice, but it's a sadistic choice nevertheless.

[Haruka]

The new channel design is nothing compared to the Google+ story, I hadn't many issues in upgrading to the new design of the channel but now being prevented from commenting just because I need a freaking social network to do so while when I joined no stuff like that were required, no thanks . Google+ also exposes more your private data, and I don't want that. I have rights to have my annonymus data in the internet. I just did like Keane:

I'm not using G+ either. Just stopped commenting.

I noticed I had a comment of someone doing questions but I can't reply because of this whole story. A shame, but it is a protest I'll keep until last resource if Google really doesn't go back.

While I support pettition, I have a fear Google will ignore it
