I wonder if this was done to appease the existing YouTube users that refused connect the account to a Google+ account with their real name.
Anybody who was already on Google+ didn't mind the real-name policy, but they certainly weren't going to tell millions of YouTube people "Sorry we don't have a place for you anymore."
I am still skeptical that many YouTube members will create Google+ profiles as a result of this.
- danielweber 12y agoThey finally forced my G+ identity to be primary on my YouTube account a few weeks ago, despite me trying for years for it not to happen.
- InclinedPlane 12y agoYou can undo that.
- bagels 12y agoHow?
- bronson 12y agoAnd why? Why should he (she?) undo something done by G+?

- c23gooey 12y agoThat link says it will only work for accounts connected within the last fourteen days. I find this whole thing really off putting. First they force my youtube account over to Google+. The a few months down the track say - 'whoops, sorry about that - but you cant have your old account back'
- angersock 12y ago"Anybody who was already on Google+ didn't mind the real-name policy" ...because those that did didn't join up in the first place. Nymwars.
- saraid216 12y agoBoth of those statements are untrue. The nymwars took place on Google Plus as much as they did anywhere else.
- orbifold 12y agoForcing me to use my real name on Youtube, will just prevent me from ever commenting on a video.
