As a user this makes me wonder how long it will be before I have to sign up for Google+ in order to watch youtube videos at all? Or to search?

  Years later, it still annoys me that you need a Google account to sign up for YouTube.

    What's the difference between having a Google account and a YouTube account? Google owns YouTube.

      It's the difference like you have to get a Condé Nast subscription in order to comment on reddit. Condé Nast owns reddit, remember? I don't want to link my personal email (Gmail) account with the what cats I watch on the Internet.

        Which email address would you use to register for the YouTube account?
        • muyuu 14y ago
          Everyone uses the old, already spam-ridden hotmail account for that.

      I liked being able to have a separate YouTube account to my Google account. Actually, I like having separate accounts for everything.
