Does Google need to chill with trying to force feed us Google+?

If they don't do this right, they might end up cripping Youtube in certain ways all to get people on Google+. I understand that it's attractive to automatically convert all these accounts to Google+ accounts, but that doesn't mean to take away/hide/re-arrange everything in the fukking process. I can't stand being nagged.

I barely use my Youtube account for messaging, but even I'm pissed off at how they've hidden the inbox.

Google needs to calm the fukk down with their data mining attempts now, it's getting annoying. But I bet they'll just push harder in the future and make more people angry.

(Still :noah: for Google Fiber, which will probably be unrestricted data mining for Google, but at least it will be in the background and I won't care)

Not really because Google+ itself is actually dope.

I hopped on for the first time in a while last week and was :leon: by how good the interface and shyt looked. It looks great and is easy as shyt to post stuff on.

The hangouts are very dope but those circles are a clusterfukk if you ask me. Great Idea but its just kind of confusing.

But I don't blame them for pushing people towards it, I think it will SLOWLY start to gain traction after a while.

Facebook is 100x worse at that. "Log in with Facebook!" NO, kick ROCKS.

And if the android/facebook relationship deepens I might have to give droid gang them 'deavors :birdman:

Yet we have a few on The Coli who swear up and down that Google's active membership numbers are legit.

Google+'s user demographics are scary bad...like 60% engineers and 75% men or something scustworthy like that. If you're not a male nerd software engineer there are better ways to achieve what you would like to than Google+

Oh and lets not forget, hot b!tches from YouTube are more likely to add you to their Google + than they would Facebook.

I don't have a Facebook. I don't have a Google Plus. I don't want anything to do with either of them, but yet they continue to try and force it on us. It's fukking ridiculous.

You guys know that Google is about to form it's own chat service right? Called Babel. It's looking like you'll need Google Plus for that too. And did I read that right above? If you want Google Fiber, you have to sign up to Google Plus? What kind of bullshyt is that.

The thing that's most amazing to me, is the sheep that are ok with this. Mufukkas would follow the Google Carrot right off the edge of a cliff. It's troubling when you think about it. Putting your blind loyalty into something like that is never a good idea, especially when we're talking about something that has the ability to basically know what you're doing, and where you are damn near at all times.

We're heading towards disturbing times.
