Youtube Plus Google+

"*As you may know, Google recently employed sweeping changes to the way its YouTube comment architecture works, and it was met with almost universal backlash from all around the web, causing some delightful chaos!*"
―Skjöldr
Youtube Plus Google+ is the 15th lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. This lesson also features a segment that eventually becomes Tweets From the Class. This lesson is the first appearance of Skjöldr, as well as the first lesson to be hosted by someone other than Erik. It was released on January 13, 2014.

## Summary

Skjöldr introduces himself and celebrates the incorporation of Google+ into YouTube. He starts the lesson by looking at tweets. Finding a tweet he doesn't like, he threatens that the Gods of Older will awaken and then logs into the author's account and deletes it. The next tweet he looks at calls Erik a "fag" and Skjöldr becomes upset about how people don't honor sexuality the way they did in his time. He curses the author to shit himself in public four more times before he turns sixty.

Skjöldr explains how Google+ has been incorporated into YouTube, explaining that it only caused chaos. He begins watching a video complaining about Google+. He finds it boring except for the parts where they're angry and hateful, which he uses to feed himself and Helja. Skjöldr logs in as Skjöldr and leaves a comment laughing at the people that are upset about Google+.

He tries to play another video, but he accidentally logs in as Erik, breaking his connection with Erik's body. Erik has no recollection of the last five months, but he sees that he's in the middle of a lesson so he decides to just keep going. He calls a friend to explain that he was possessed, and then he leaves a comment. Finally, Erik reads the Comment Quiz of the Week that Skjöldr had prepared and sends a Tweet to the band Portugal the Man.
