Google Plus Commenting on YouTube - ALL G+ COMMENTS POSTS HERE

[JustSomeGermanDude]

Okay so an update for you. "As of right now" I received a new comment and I can reply to it. It seems like any new comment we receive is through the new system so we can reply to it. At the moment we can't reply to old comments, however I assume this will be updated. "I don't know for sure though" But we can, for sure, respond to any new comment we get.

This.

"Most comment notifications will now be delivered by Google+ and not to your inbox."

Well this kind of sucks, honestly. I don't want to check my page for notifications. >_> I liked checking my inbox for comment notifications.

You don't have to check your page. You get notified through that little G+ bell at the top of the page. So instead of having to go to the somewhat hidden inbox it's one click from anywhere now.

There needs to be a stickied thread explaining all there needs to know about the new system or we'll be up all night xD

Good point... I was just hoping for an easier life. I guess I have to deal with it and keep trying to be a nice guy xD

... and this new comment feature doesn't have a reply button.

Uh, oh. I didn't notice that yet. I'm on my iPad, using Google Chrome desktop, and you're right. I can delete comments (apparently, because there is a trash can icon) but I don't have the other functions. (Mark as Spam, Reply, Block)[DOUBLEPOST=1383790688,1383790369][/DOUBLEPOST]

The problem is, if you are a youtuber who likes to respond to every single fan comment, YOU CAN'T unless they make the switch too.

I tested this out and I can't reply to people who are even in my Top Fans Circle. I'm using Google Chrome, desktop (not mobile) setting, on my iPad.

Google/Youtube doesn't give a single flying f**k about its users. As long as their income isn't going to be too influenced by this, they won't listen. At all.

And this is why we need to manually reduce their income. Everyone should use AdBlock and let them decide if they want to force G+ on everyone badly enough that they're willing to take the revenue hit.

As youtubers, encouraging people to use adblock just seems like a stupid idea.

You have to make sacrifices to get things done.
