I absolutely cannot get any actual help from Google whatsoever: I've been trying for over a couple of weeks to verify my channel to unlock additional features (like, namely, custom thumbnails), but they never send me my verification code, and when trying to get support from Google regarding the matter, they just completely ignore me altogether. If they don't want people to have additional features on their accounts, then they shouldn't offer them as an option in the first place.

STILL getting error messages trying to sort through playlists.



Oh yeah, and YT has actually just locked view counts on my official channel, they said it's because my videos are "too long" (well, yeah, I have that half-hour PUPPET POWER special, the hour-long STEVE'S HOLIDAY HULLABALOO special, and the Complete Collection compilation that's nearly three hours long), and that view counts would only increase if people actually watch the videos for a certain amount ot time for them to really "count". Nice.

You know what just crossed my mind? All these people who keep posting things in comments like entire movie scripts, entire epic novels, ASCII penises, swaztikas, tanks, and other things are pretty much supporting the new Google+ comment system, rather than protest it... because, like, if people don't want to use Google+ just to comment on videos, then they should stop posting comments altogether: go to your account setting, disconnect the forced Google+ account from your YT account, delete your Google+ account, that way, the only reason you'd be able to post a comment would be to register a Google+ account, and if you don't want a Google+ account, then you won't be able to post.

See, THAT's how you show opposition; the way everybody is abusing the new features, like no character limits and links to porn sites... this is kind of pretty much what Google wants...

There's an unsubstainiated rumor floating around right now that if the video about the new Google+ comment system (shared on the previous page of this thread) reaches 200,000 dislikes by the end of this month, Google will revert back to the original comment system.

Not sure if it's true or not, though apparently, some are complaining now that they can't dislike the video, so I guess it's partly true.

Since when did production music garner third party claims? Production music's supposed to be free for use, this kind of defeats the purpose.

I like how everyone's whining about that Health Care website and they're doing a better job at fixing errors than Google is with Youtube. Now I'm getting videos not loading and having to refresh videos to get sound. WOW! Now I'm losing sound on videos for no apparent reason.

What I don't like is that you are required to have a Google+ profile in order to post a comment on a video. Why do I need to have a profile on Google+ to post a YT comment when I never use Google+? Just a sign of Google+ being merged with YouTube. Call me a traditionalist, it's ridiculous.
