I actually dropped Google+ altogether because of "plus pollution" -- after dropping a few lines and asking for a way to opt out of the crappage. I can't for the life of me see why anybody would want the main service of another web site crowded out by social garbage
Most of my circles of friends and acquaintances (in real-life terms as well as the Google-branded version) intersect with me in areas other than things like YouTube video interests and so on. Should I share political leanings and hobby interests with everybody who, say, develops software on the same platform I do? If that's the case, then I missed the memo.

- skore 15y agoWell, Facebook does the same from a different angle, they just didn't start out with such a large portfolio that they now inject social in - they started with social and now try to inject it into anything they can get their hands on. The basic hypothesis is: People are social, social drives usage, so let's put it into everything. The problem is: We already have social in everything, without their help, just not in a way that drives their usage.
