I don't think it's meant to be an in depth critique, it's his feedback as a user. It sounds like it's more his feedback as a creator, worried about what the functionality will do to users. But, you know, those are the breaks when you sharecrop on someone else's land: they retain the right to change things for their own benefit. Still don't quite understand the complaint, though. You've long needed a Google account to give feedback on YouTube. Now they call those accounts G+ accounts (just as Hotmail accounts became Live accounts, etc). What's the problem? sidenote -- gah, accidentally downvoted you when I was trying to select text. Apologies.

When I read his blog post I assumed he has a YouTube account that is not linked to his Google account. You can unlink them[1]. It's also possible to have an account with Google without being on G+. My understanding of his complaint is that he was signed in to youtube, which is why it's billed as an 'upgrade.' He should be able to easily use YouTube with a YouTube account. I think that's where the complaint comes in, it's not just calling the account something different, it's making things more difficult for those who might want to keep some things separate. That doesn't make your points any less true, but I at least think I understand the complaint. edit: also no worries on the downvote ;) [1]http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=183819 http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&an...
