PETITION - Google: Change the Youtube comment section back to its original form......Which as of right now has:
100,000+ signatures.
Quote:
Google is forcing us to make google+ accounts and invading our social life to comment on a youtube video and trying to take away our anonymous profile.
They are also trying to censor us unless we share the same worldview as they do.
New information has been brought to me by one of the supporters of this petition that their account was suspended by google for telling people about this petition. Just another reason to sign this petition.
If you want to spread this petition around Youtube, make sure to do it on a separate account because others have told me people have been suspended for sharing this petition with others.

What do think about the new comment system verses the old?...What about censorship, and encroachment on anonymity?

Good. Here's to hoping Youtube comments will improve in quality.

Hmm, while I do like the extra feature, I am getting a bit sick of the umpteenth growing "social network" to keep track of, as they all slowly copy each other. Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Steam, YouTube etc. etc. etc.

YouTube comments are widely regarded as being what's underneath the scrapings from the very bottom of the barrel, so it could hardly be anything but an improvement.

Uh, this isn't one more, this is one less. They've folded YouTube into Google+.

Oh the tyranny!
Now Youtube does what, again? Isn't that the place for cat videos and talentless dolts to show off their '10 Greatest Nut Punches'?
