Why Google Plus YouTube integration isn't so bad.

Hi,
I've been using YouTube since 2010 and when Google chose to force YouTube users to use Google Plus I had to use it as well. While it is now hard to tell the difference between YouTube Partners and regular YouTubers (like myself), it is now much easier to interact with your audience.

Despite the comment section being messed up with having to only see the most popular comments, I've found that the voted comments can continue to get votes as they are the only ones seen. I've posted comments on videos that have earned thumbs-ups/+1's which enable the most recent viewer to see my comment. This, metaphorically, is like watering the dirt to bring up the bugs (in this case, the good/popular comments). Now, the people who say meaningful things are able to be noticed. Simply saying 'lol' doesn't earn votes any more.

If you have any questions or would like to converse with me, I have a Google Plus, or you can simply post a comment below, thanks!
