If anyone from Google is listening, this is probably a better place to vent than submitting a support ticket. I don't care what it looks like, +'s functionality has been broken for me for almost a year and it has killed how my entire family uses it. I went through great pains to teach my family to not send photos and videos over email. We all had Gmail accounts and we all used the Google Photos camera sync so it seemed like a great idea to teach them to share content within a Circle in +. It worked great for a while until out of nowhere I could no longer see any of my sister's posts. I went through both her and my account many times looking for permissions issues or errant blocks and found nothing. I submitted multiple support issues from both her account and mine and nothing. (And on a side note, I like the support feature that allows you to screenshot and annotate the issue you are having, but 90% of all issues I have in + are inside a modal window, which cannot be screenshot. You literally cannot report issues that happen inside a modal window, WTF?). My sister generated the majority of the content my family Circle consumed and now that she can't be seen, our entire usage of + has all but stopped. People have reverted back to emailing photos and videos and we're right back where we started... I don't care what it looks like, if it doesn't work, I won't use it. I also used the Hangouts on Air feature extensively and never understood why it had to be originated in + and why you _had_ to invite people. The best use case for this tool was to do screen recording that was automatically imported into YouTube but getting the right combination of + account and YouTube account and making sure you were authorized to use Hangouts on Air with YouTube was incredibly frustrating. Hopefully the new flow using YouTube Live will allow going on-air without forcing you to invite an audience. And while I'm at it - suggesting people join Communities but hiding the fact that there are sub-topics in these communities was a huge dark pattern I hated. I joined the Linux community thinking I would see some interesting packages or hacks or discussions and all I found was perpetual posting of Wind0w$ is teh Suck memes and obvious spam. The _majority_ of my interactions on + was marking posts as spam and blocking users hoping content would improve, and it never did. It wasn't until much later that I figured out I could unsubscribe from sub-topics, if I could only find where they were listed.
