Excuse me but your not asking people to link your DEMANDING us to link when we were never asked if we would like these features added or not, most people will now have to make a google account just so they can continue using youtube, and as i'v heard many people have now lost their entire youtube accounts through this feature crap.

can you please tell us WHY this has to be done istead of just saying "do what we want you to",

youtube will lose many many accounts and many many everyday users through this, sort it out youtube, surely youtube is worth enough money to not have to have goggle as part of them if this is another case of wanting more money out of people, personally i hope youtube lose most of their client base through this, that way websites might start to listen to their users instead of their diesease ridden money hungry minds
