Don't get me wrong, I dislike how they are trying to force people to get Google+, but beyond that, the changes have been quite alright to me. Every time YouTube gets patched, there is this huge howl over the changes, but they eventually turn out to be acceptable.
Take the latest change, for example, to the way comments work. At first, I was honestly like wtf is this...but now that I've been able to use it for a week, I actually like it because it solves two problems I use to have. Firstly, I can actually follow conversations easily and know who is replying to who. The more threaded format is familiar to me, as that is how many forums work anyways. Secondly, the actions that I do in the comments section actually register immediately. Before I couldn't even tell if an upvote actually registered, and sometimes I would totally loose track of where a conversation started. To me, it is more ordered and neat now.
Again, the only problem I have is google trying to usher people into signing up for Google+, but honestly once you have it, you forget that its even there. To me, it's analogous to wearing underwear. You put it on to go out, but it's not even an afterthought while you're doing your business. At the moment, Google+ doesn't get in my way, and as long as it doesn't, I don't have much problem with it really. If I were forced to actually use it, then I would have a real gripe. But I'm curious to hear what you guys think of the latest changes
