New YouTube Comment System

Recently YouTube updated their comment system with new measures of security and filtering. However, it broke everything. People have been posting screamers, scam, spam and inappropriate comments. Also, the reply system makes NO SENSE. NONE. Also now you must link your YouTube to Google+, which is just plain makes no sense and is just another plan form Google to get people to use their awful alternative to Facebook. A revolution has been started with the symbol being "Bob", a stick figure who hates Google+ and has assembled tanks, guns, and an army to fight the comment system. However, even with all the uproar, Google, vain as they are, will probably do nothing to change the comment section. So everyone with a YouTube, send Bob all over! We want to take back the site that we love!

    And didn't it require you to use google plus ages ago? That change is rather old.

      No, before you could keep the two accounts separated. Now all your YouTube comments must be through a Google+ account, and there is no limit on characters. The comments have basically become small Google+ posts. Google is a greedy company who feels like they need to promote their social media....WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU SHUT DOWN MY BLOG, GOOGLE!?

    Not to sound like a hipster here...but I saw the first bob post, and like a million replies. I think the person who started it may have hax0red in and posted it on all the videos that were playing. I happened to be watching a vlogbrothers video.

    Of course, this is quite an interesting thing that YouTube is doing now, even though we don't like it as much as before, we ought to live with it :|

    Go bob I guess.. I mean really they are not going to change anything just because people are posting this in the comments of every video. people still use YouTube very often.
