I'm currently pissed and amazed with the amount of shit that's coming out with every new redesign of YouTube. I feel like if you entered the office in YouTube building where they come up with all new designs for page, you would find one chimpanzee smashing his big stupid hands on keyboard.

You are all probably aware that YouTube was bought by Google and is now trying to follow big daddys Facebook steps into turning YouTube into a nice social website where you can share your video experience with all you friends and family, also known as GOOGLE FUCKING PLUS.

I'm sure most of you are familiar that YouTube is politely asking you to start using your full name on your channel and if you don't feel like it, that's ok, they will ask you on next video again when you might have changed your mind. 3 times now I even had to delete G+ profile that I didn't even want to create and Google kindly created for me and linked it with my YouTube channel. I know that people that are actually using G+ don't see what's the big deal about this, but for me this kind of aggressive expansion really gets on my nerves.

So I would like to hear your opinion on the subject, please comment, if you think I'm over reacting do tell me so. I've tried to post my dissatisfaction somewhere on YouTube but as it turns out, YouTube is so fucked up that I can't even reply to most of the comments there, in fact I can't even leave a comment of my own at the moment.

With all this being said, I'd like to end this thread in funny note.

EDIT: if you are like me fed up with popup asking you to change your channel name and are using some sort of adblock, you can create custom filter with this rule to make it go away

Or maybe, have an actual FEEDBACK forum or something? Comments easily get overlooked.

true, true.
Like an interactive FAQ - with a week to answer multiple questions etc. pp
and then an actual support forum - it would be SO easy, too. (me thinx)
"forum.youtube.com/LANGUAGE/" would be nice to see..

I can't even comment now because it really wants me to have a G+ account which I don't want to have because it's a pain to find settings and change basic stuff like avatar :|

Here's a nice video made by Gopher in which he explains all the problems this change brought, and how it affects both content creators and viewers.
