content: I have been subscribed to your Youtube channel for a number of years, longer than any other channel by a large amount! I have enjoyed and taken pleasure from your response's to my comments but as you're fully aware, Google fucked up! You'll be losing a supporter and subscriber from today as I close my Youtube account (after seven years), nothing to do with your content. Like I said, I haven't been subscribed to a channel for as many years as I have to yours and to this day relish your next video.Thank you, you crazy Aussie bloke.Over and out.Listn2CKY

content: If you don't post comments you're not saving anything really and dinging Dave for something that's not his fault.Just log off of youtube and don't sign in and Dave keeps his subscriber and you don't have to mess with anything.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on November 11, 2013, 12:20:57 pmI just wiped my data from Google+ and have set upDisconnectandGhosteryto block Google trackers.Getting tired of Google's crap. What ever happened to "Don't be evil"? Google makes the NSA look like a bunch of slobbering monkeys. So much for corporate mottos...

content: Quote from: tsmith35 on November 11, 2013, 12:38:35 pmI think "Don't be evil" already has some Orwellian hints to it, like they're saying they should be the ones to judge what is "evil"and control it. They're already doing this with their search suggestions/query expansions ("showing results for {something they want to promote}, search instead for {what you really wanted to find}", or when it decides to "correct" your query to show more results, demoting the importance of sites about some other similarly spelled word) it's really scary how much influence they can have over the population just with that.

content: Quote from: tsmith35 on November 11, 2013, 12:38:35 pmI shall half my advertising budget for google adword for next 3 months. If enough people do that, it shall wake up some kids that are running very wild in google. You can see from their madness on Dave youtube and some even come onto the forum. All speaking nonsense that kill google name in such one stroke on the youtube move. What the f..k people want to get onto g+, people might have, very slowly, but when they terminate the reader and igoogle, nobody wants to invest anymore time with their new projects.

content: Quote from: Stonent on November 13, 2013, 07:53:13 pm101 goes through Mountainview. The other two are the major commute routes.. There's more commute routes, like 580, 680 on the East Bay and 92 through the Santa Cruz mountains.. but the ones I mentioned have the most billboards and I think the most commuters, because if you come from the East Bay on 680 or from Santa Cruz on 92, you're going to eventually end up on 101, 280 or 85 to get to workSo I thought best coverage there lol

content: I'm assuming Dave also announces his videos via an RSS feed, so you can still check his video content without having to rely on a youtube account.

content: What's the problem with them unifying their logins exactly?My only real problem with Google+ is that they disallow pseudonyms, although curiously enough if you transferred a youtube pseudonym to google+ and said "no I want to keep my old name" enough times it let you keep it.

content: I'm still old school like that too..I like my privacy on the Internet. For many people, especially those growing up today born into the Internet (would that be Generation I ?? Those born in the last 10-15 years?? a new beginning? Generation 1? -- If so, be it known that I coined it here first on the eevblog LOL)Being real on the Internet is fine and not a problem with them. I was around long before the Internet even existed so I am not into the publicness of it yet ...In some ways, I guess that means I don't get public recognition for any achievements (If I had any LOL) ....
