You-Tube now requires a Google account - Computers - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Captain Ginyu · 02-24-2011, 03:55 PM

Hello all,

I Just wanted to bring something across that imo, might be just another way for big brother to track even closer, what people like to watch on you-tube & such. It's nothing new that you-tube requires a membership for those who want to create vids, subscribe, & watch vids containing stuff unsuitable for minors, etc., but why now a google account?

There just seems no logical reason that I see, to be required in having a google account in order to be with you-tube.

Well, any of you already know of this, or wish to add or comment, please do so...

Kinda strange, right?

Not asking questions, or saying nothing would qualify as little brain use, wouldn't you agree? Don't be such a dipshit!

either way google's moto of "do no evil" is bullshit.

Google is very evil and I avoid google whenever I can.

just tried to log in and got this message.

You will no longer be able to sign in to YouTube without a Google Account.If you do not want to link this YouTube account, you can sign out here.
