Seems to me like the past year YouTube is being swallowed by Google+. (And with that, by the advertising company that Google so obviously has become.) Especially the way in which users are pressured into using their "real name" and the dramatic shift in discover/recommendations (from content-based to social-based) seems more than just a matter of integration. Both are things that are the opposite of what YouTube was about a until recently. Google is all about advertising. Software is just a means to that end.
