I hate Google. Of course I use it for searching. But what I hate most is that you don't go from link to page of interest, you are referred to each page, I am guessing so that Google gets referral fees. Google is such a fucking scam. Like the Chrome virus. You cannot uninstall Chrome once you put it on or you get popups forever if you take it off. They fucking suck. I hate them!!!!

Google is trying to organize all of the world's information. They have a 300 year plan to accomplish this. Information is power, so all bow down to our new master that is interested in what shoes we are thinking about buying.

Yeah I totally did NOT dig that I had to make Google+ accounts to have my YouTube accounts. Ridiculous.

what if you make a Google+ account and don't fill out any of the info and just never use it? i agree, it's some bullshit. but YT and Goggle won those markets, and everybody that is the most popular always have something odd or annoying to go along with using them.

the only thing google+ has going for it, is that you can use gifs as your profile pic.

Can you use shock porn stuff for your G+ profile GIFs? Might just sign up only to do that.

But no. Fuck google. They won't let you use non-real sounding 'nyms as names. Fuck them. If they want to own a piece of meatspace me, the opening bid is metric shit ton higher than what they're offering.

It doesn't bother me all that much, I never really use my google+ account. I rarely comment on a youtube vid either, and if I do it's usually stupid shit when I'm drunk.

When YouTube asked me to put my real name, I definitely put "Boy Sauce"

Is the "replay" button on YouTube acting buggy for other people or is it just me?
