I'm surprised no one brought this up as a discussion. What a strange venture that was overall. Is anyone here going to miss it? I have a few mixed feelings. It was quite strange how Google tied it in with YouTube. Especially when they somehow intertwined commenting on YouTube videos with G+. Around the same time, they really hid away where private messages are sent and received through YT. I'd still be hard pressed to figure out where to see my inbox in YT. Then later, they made it very difficult to send someone a private message through G+. I guess Google wants to discourage us from talking privately? haha
I found many G+ groups to be atrocious for being a place where people just reposted stolen pictures they took from others with no credit. Not only was there no moderating in those groups, often the moderators were leading the charge of posting stolen material!
However, on the other hand, I did make some contacts through G+. Some even locally. And there were 4-5 groups I was a part of that were quite active and were pretty decent for promoting videos or photographs of mine. For those groups alone, I'll actually miss the G+ experience - as weird as it was!
