Google Plus

Just writing this to say that Google is being really stupid right now. It's not secret that Google has been trying to expand its influence. Ever since it has taken Youtube, it has constantly shifted out of a comfortable format into one that pushes away independent channels and instead forces the popular ones in your face. Did you watch a video on video games? Say hello to Pewdiepie and Game Grumps on related videos.

Now, Google has decided to throw its poor little child Google+ into the mix. The poor contender against Facebook that will continue to fail because it's trying to hard to be Facebook for it to actually care about anything else. So why not throw it into Youtube? What's the worst that can happen? Well a lot, actually.

I for one, am one of many that seem to have problem commenting. I can't do in in my default browser; I try to make a comment, usually trying to give out artist and song names in the description or answering a question, or even trying to add to the conversation, but lo and behold, a window pops up, does its thing for a second, and then nothing happens. Thank you Google, you're breaking Youtube more and more. Do you just want it to die? I remember when you thought Google videos would be a good thing, only for Youtube to immediately skyrocket in popularity as everyone else laughed in your greedy face.

Now, the thing is, I'm writing this on a Google Blogger. I know they won't read this, I know people won't take a glance at it for a second. It'll probably be just me giving myself views by making sure everything looks alright. But seriously Google, you're trying to hard. Revert Youtube back. You might've messed it up, but it's okay to admit that we're wrong, it's what allows us to grow as people. I believe in a policy where we don't just point to others and say they're wrong, but think and realize that sometimes, it is our own faults. And you definitely keep messing up Google.
