Google plus did not back down

As you all know, Google has forced Youtube users to connect their private youtube profile with a google plus account. The ones that did not agree to this, including myself,  were not allowed to comment on their videos.

The petition to revert the changes did not pass the minimum quota, so google isn't even going to acknowledge the votes. Truth to be told, they probably wouldn't have done anything even with the full  number of votes.

So as off today I will allow the google plus account to be merged  with my youtube account, as my resistance seems to be hopeless.
This way I can once again comment on my and other peoples videos and be active in my youtube life once again. It is sad that massive corporations have that kind of power over us, but then again it's their product and service we use, so we really have no right to complain.
