Title: Google+ required for YouTube comments
Post by: Taylor on November 09, 2013, 02:33:20 pm
The new YouTube comment system requires a Google+ account.


THIS IS INFURIATING!

No wonder you threw your computer's keyboard to the ground and stomped it to oblivion. :o

It is rather infuriating, I must agree.

If you're noticed, the complainers are the most vocal ones about this.

This change suffers from They Changed It, Now It Sucks (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheyChangedItNowItSucks/). 8)

I've voted no, BTW.

Meh.
I don't care about it, either way; I don't have Google+ and I don't comment on YouTube.

If Google+ is required to use Google Chrome I'm better off with Internet Explorer then.
If Google+ is required to use the Google search engine, I'll just use Bing (http://www.bing.com/).


Um.
I have also received a report from an anonymous e-mail. (Is that even possible? :o)

In it, is said that Taylor called KarjamP a "colossal jerk" and something about "generic KarjamP dumbness".

Is this because of KarjamP voting "no"?
If it is, cut it out.
Please do not insult members just because they have a different opinion.
If this continues, I will have to take action somehow which WILL affect everyone involved in the insulting. Even if they're innocent. I'm dead serious here.

"Generic KarjamP Dumbass" was an insult directed towards me on the Mossmouth Forums.

Taylor didn't say that to me, although she did agree with said person. :-\

All well, my opinions are apparently unpopular.

That proves that what TV Tropes said about said trope ("And don't you dare suggest that in changing it they made it better.").

Not swayed about that.

Meh. Don't comment much anyway.

No wonder you threw your computer's keyboard to the ground and stomped it to oblivion. :o

...Don't you agree that's a bit too much aggression? :P
Poor mouse. It had done nothing wrong.

There's a reason why everyone hates it. It now does not function. AT ALL. You can't tell who replied to who and it automatically sorts them at "Top" rather than new comments AND the top comments.
What? I work out for a few hours and then I've got nothing to do for the rest of the day.

Actually, you can.

If I remember correctly, it now threads the comments so that they're all in one place (I think only in new posts, though).

Also, it's possible to sort it via "new posts" instead of "top posts" just by clicking on the list and selecting it.

And how does it not function to you?

And the only reason why everyone seems to hate it is because "everyone" is the most vocal of the bunch.
 
Most of the ones who do like it are either shunned or are quiet about it. (the former is the reason why Taylor got mad at me in the first place. Gosh, these people who can't respect other's opinions!).

EDIT: If you can't see the comments, it's because they've changed the way the comments load.

Apparently, it's now a separate web page that's embedded in your window.

Your browser's probably struggling to fetch said web page and making it active (as, AFAIK, it relies on the fact that it's connected to the internet).

It's not a matter of respecting others opinions, they had a system that worked and now it doesn't. Comment threads are non-existent and although you can set it to newest first, it auto-defaults to top.

When I said "opinions", I meant whenever you like Youtube's new comment system or hate it.

Even if it's not working properly, that doesn't mean there won't be people who love it.

And "not respecting others' opinions" (ie, snap at said people) would just make them upset.

While I'm not fazed about the comments speaking against me for my opinion, it DID do emotional damage in my heart.

OH and @Shane I forgot to say this

Bing is terrifyingly horrible. I can never find what I want with it.
It's got the best image search out there, but it shows you the same image gallery every time you search. IE, you look up something a year ago and then you look it up now and it returns the exact same results.

Fine, sorry Richard, whatever.
I can tell that's "Shane-speak" for "apologize to KarjamP or you're demoted".

You're forgiven, even though I can tell you're still grudging about it.
