YouTube and its prompting about G+

[danni]

Hey there!

Does anyone know, how I can get that really annoying prompting to go away permanently? It keeps popping up everynow and then (I just refresh the page) I dont want a G+ profile (every options leads to G+ creation) !

Ah, oh wow. They're pushing heavy. Google+ isn't all that great to be honest, you're not missing out on much. But I'd be annoyed to no end about those notices.

I've got two active Google accounts. In FireFox I am logged into one, which includes Google+ and in Chrome, logged into a different one that I mainly use for YouTube and gmail. I never get the notice on my alternate one, but looking into it, I've already got a G+ account for that too. I don't recall setting one up, but I must have.

Wish there were more Google alternatives. Vimeo, DailyMotion and LiveLeak are all great and all... but still very small content as compared to YouTube.

I shit you not, Youtube is the second largest/most used search engine.
If you post content on Youtube, there's a high chance of it getting viewed by at least 2 people.

The largest/most used search engine is Google, of course.

DailyMotion is more than just porn and ads? >_>

Google has this bad habit of forcing assumptions on what they think you need.  Signing up for a single service (gmail, g+, youtube, etc) will create sister accounts on each tied in service.  If you have a Google Apps account and can manage the domain, just look at how many "Services" are enabled by default -_-;

Not sure, have never really used DailyMotion. I just see it referenced from time to time when people post videos.

I seem to remember getting a series of emails at one point about g+ stuff, and they would not let me unsubscribe from them without signing into a g+ account that I did not have. Think I ended up just marking them as spam
