Yeah, the new comment system was supposed to some how fix the trolling and flame wars. Instead, all that's happened is the trolls now have access to the google groups via g+ too. lol, it's funny to see white knites of google plus going from telling people the youtube comment changes are for the better to being just as annoyed (but for a different reason) as the users who're now having to use g+ to simply comment on videos.
To make matters worse, if you have an existing g+ groups profile, both your g+ and circle updates are now combined along with your youtube comment replys and updates.
What a pain in the neck... from what I hear, it's even worse for people who're putting youtube content out there and want to interact with their community.

It's a free service they can update as they like.

With the forced G+ crap and the automatic real name usage (unless you're migrating a Youtube account to G+ and choose to keep your username instead, or have to go through settings and options to not default to real name), it seems like Google is hell-bent on disregarding their "Don't Be Evil" mantra.

Yea because we totally have Google in China... oh wait they left a few years ago.

So if I took a dump on your lawn and called it a free service, you'd let me come back whenever I wanted to make updates?
Don't answer that. It's not a serious question. It's not even a rational question. I just wanted to make a really terrible analogy involving poop. Because it's funny.

I don't remember any YT update which made positive and useful changes.

I think YT and Google+ have been amalgamated and its borked all the commenting for now.

This is the yt android app I'm using it works great and you won't get update notifications from google play, you should try that.

yeah, about that. won't be long before Google blocks that too. They already do it on Windows phone, citing not API to display adverts properly.
But for everyone else that wants to watch videos in their browser, on their PC. nope.jpg.
Talking of browsers, notice how the updated YouTube/Google Plus service didn't support IE11 until this morning... saying upgrade to a new browser.. even now it's saying browser not supported.
lol, Google, one of the biggest companies to do with browsing the internet can't get the latest browser from the biggest desktop OS working with their site. Shameful to say the least... it nothing more then a tactic to make IE11 seem worse then it is.
For the people that are going to jump in and say IE sucks, etc. Setting user-agent string to IE10 or Firefox makes the sites work flawlessly. /shrug.

Yea, I also remember, that, when they updated gmail few weeks ago, it didn't work properly on firefox and ie, only on chrome. Also, new gmaps update for android removed half of the features and added some google+ crap. I actually think that big companies like ea, activision, google etc. are sometimes do this things just to troll us, like "hey, let's screw around with people, we have loadsomoney anyways, so who cares."

Only about 27.8% of the world... just beaten by the leader, Chrome, with 30.6% ... while firefox now lags behind at just 16.0%.
Internet explorer as much as you might dislike it and it's users, is still a very prominent part of the internet.
Youtube is the 3rd most visited site on the internet. So when Google decides to alienating almost 28% of it's users, that's going to cause a backlash.

Did SG do the same thing? I wake up, refresh SG, and the comment font is smaller and the giveaways I've entered no longer 'fade' so I can skip them in the list. WTF - too much work to go through 11 pages already, now I have to worry about if I entered a giveaway or not.

You don't have to use your real name...mine is Cthulu Spy.
But yeah, youtube has been going to shit ever since Google took over. They should really just stay as a search engine and not try to permeate everything.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh no! They're improving YouTube and I can't take all the new stuff! Plug out your internet and go live in the past if you want...
