G+ shutting down. About 4 people might be sad.

It's pretty funny that their response to a 2 year(!) data breach was "Don't say anything! It's google+, no one will notice!" 😀
 
It's a dead product anyway.

According to the article.

90 percent of Google+ sessions were less than 5 seconds

I will only visit Google+ page when no where else to find info about a company/restaurant.

I thought that was pretty funny too. I imagine most of those are people who were maybe looking into it, so they established a session to see if it works, and that's it.
 
I actually thought they shuttered it ~4 years ago? I'm also thinking that the only reason Google waited some 2 years to "deal" with this is not because they thought it wasn't that big of a deal, but because Google actually forgot that Google+ was still active. That would probably be more embarrassing.
 
Google is incredibly unethical. They give everyone else 90 days to fix their bugs or they release them. A bug with their own products they sit on forever.
 
I remember when this arrived and so many were predicting FBs death. I tired it and didnt see the point in moving over. It looked like FB and didnt add anything to the mix.

The only way to compete with Facebook us to have a similar user base.

iirc, they fixed it in 2015; but did not tell anyone about it until "now"

either way, it is messed up and i totally expect them to get fined and sued by users
 
Google has frustrated me a lot. They keep shit like Google+, make 4 apps to do the same thing like messaging, and kill off good ideas like Google inbox.
 
'tards deterred me from leaving any YouTube comments for 4-5 years. I had no desire to be forced into a Google+ account.

Think it was early this year I learned I could comment with no strings attached. I never got the memo in 2015.

That was retarded when they did that, they were also forcing people to use their real name. I don't recall how but I was able to get around that requirement, but I did end up accidentally linking my Youtube to my G+. But they got so much flak for that they kind of stopped pushing it. I'm glad I never gave in to using my real name or accidentally caused it to happen automatically though. I'm actually using my youtube account more seriously now trying to grow my channel, and would not want to be doing that with my real name.
