I liked it, because of an earlier feature where you could peruse images of people from other countries in they're custom clothing, some of the images were stunning, I haven't seen since images that good to be honest, they were taken so well.
I think Google+ was a really good site, particularly before most of its features were separated into multiple apps, i.e. Hangouts. The one reason the product failed is because of Google's idiocy. Google has a knack for taking things that work, and breaking them in the name of "improving user experience", the only reason they haven't caused the death of RUclips is that RUclips has 0 competitors. Remember Inbox and all the hype around it? A year or two later it was discontinued. I have never seen a more volatile tech company in my life, as far as software products go. This behaviour also extends into their developer ecosystem. They would introduce a new API for Android and tout it as "the way forward", then a few years later, they deprecate it...
Google+ was the only social media site that I actually liked. The Circles feature was amazing, and the design was very modern compared to it's competitors at the time. A lot of casual social media users called it a ghost town, but the reality is that the Tech and Art communities were absolutely thriving on it. Uncountable numbers of posts were made daily in tech and art related groups. Ever since it shut down, I've never actively used another social media site again. Google once again ruining a great product.
Anyone remember that hellish community called "Draw my oc" for and was for art and OCs? I swear this place could get an entire video of it's own explaining all it's dramas if it wasn't all lost.
man I miss Google plus. I made so many friends on there. fortunately I manage to stay in contact with a good amount of them after it went down but I never saw the rest of them again. 😞
Google+ had a few tech communities I was joined to which I really enjoyed. Even though that wasn't Google's aim really I appreciated it for what it was!
Yeah, the late 2015 redesign of Google+ placed a lot of emphasis on communities instead of anything else. It changed the vision of Google+ in a major way, yet it still failed. I'm surprised that the redesign wasn't actually mentioned in the video, but no biggie.
Ima be honest, I still miss it at times. I was a very “loyal” user to it (by loyal I mean I used it a lot and thought it was good so I’d recommend it to other people and tell them about it lmao) and used it nonstop everyday 24/7. Mades loads of friends and had tons of fun, but also had tons of bad things happen such as people harassing me or friends for the dumbest things. Unfortunately when it got deleted, I lost all that and at least 5 almost 6 years worth of art and characters as well as friends who I never could find a way to find again. So, it was fun while it existed, but at the same time, I’m glad that it’s gone because of all the bad shit and drama that was unnecessarily shoved into your throat for no reason.
Same bro, When I first got a smart phone I was using G+ and RUclips all day. I still use RUclips and I love G+ still to this day, I hope to experience that app once more. I don't use Instagram or Snapchat, The only social media playform I love to heart is RUclips and g+. Nostalgic
Odd how u ain’t notice a decrease in users over the span of however long u used it to not think about backing up /transferring ur data. And to keep years of artwork on one single cloud service that could be shut down at any point and have everything lost was kinda stupid 2 begin with l. Either way it sucks 2 lose allat n a buncha friends but life goes on 😅
I honestly remember using Google Plus a lot in my middle school and early high School Days until the day the plug got pulled I lost most of all my social media friends sadly and truly.
Me too, I had it in middle school, before Instagram. I still remember a few things I posted or the boards I used to follow. I honestly had no idea it was shutdown until today when I remembered it and wanted to pay the past a visit.
Well, Google is now planning to "wind down" Google Currents in 2023 and migrate its users to Google Chat. The last remnant of Google+ will soon be no more... 😞
I loved google plus and I really enjoyed the communities I was a part of on there. Google killed it itself by trying to fix something that wasn't broken.
I remember when I started using Google Plus when I was getting severely bullied in school. I had fun, but I'm pretty sure I was being groomed by someone I talked to everyday, idk why. But I was heartbroken when they suddenly stopped talking to me.
I spent my early middle school years with Google+ and it was fun back then :) Had a lot of friendship and a popular local community... Rememberin all those art sharing, memes, questions feels kinda bitter haha. It was a short but pleasant phase.
It had almost everything you wanted, but the circles need work. It felt kinda forced. The site was very hard to navigate for new comers. There wasn't really a reason to switch. Oh and the data breaches.
Oh man... my Nexus S and Google + in 2011 was such a fun experience. Google + was fun but just always an odd kinda thing to me. It had a lot of cool features but had a learning curve to it.
This video came much quicker than I expected it to (and certainly much quicker than "a couple of weeks" like what was previously said)! Nice work! Also, why is the "Google+" logo in the thumbnail unusually dark?
Glad you enjoyed it! The normal Google logo clashed with our coral theme. And the red O and E were hard to make out at all. We might change it to all black to make it more similar to our other thumbnails of black/white on coral 😊
Ngl I miss G+ I used it for a good 3/4 years :[ I met all talented and weird people but it was fun in general Can’t believe I lost contacts with them all (except one person and it’s been like 6/7 years now since we’ve known each other)
Didn't see the point of Google+ it. It was being forced on OG youtube users and everyone hated it. All it ever was is an excuse to tie Google login into personal user data
I think the biggest question is what happened with Vic Gundotra, when he left all of the innovation went with him. Just as things were picking up momentum he announced he was leaving and things were never the same from that point.
I personally think it partly failed because they overestimated how many friends we actually have..and how close we are to those “mutuals” ..most people on social media are acquaintances, not FRIENDS friends, so they were essentially forcing friendships to be closer than they really are. Unless you were in an office setting, it just seemed like glorified office email service for people who didn’t need it. Circles was visually awkward as well. Only white collar workers cared for it because it’s basically a glorified office email software…it didnt appeal to the masses which are mostly blue collar people.. it needed to be more individualistic., it was TOO social for social media.
I was on Google+ when I was an eeny-miny preteen, and I found my bff there, so I do hold it near my heart. I remember quite liking my experience there; the Circles and Communities functions were awesome, the feed design was sleek and the young otakus were thriving. Too bad it's dead now.
Man this ironically enough used to be my favorite social media site. But it was so heavily under developed and its community was just a noir version of Reddit
I liked the communities (or whatever they were called) In particular, there was this **ahem** yaoi centered one, which allowed nsfw content and I met a lot of cool people. And it was active too! A lot of artists posting daily. Sadly, it either got hacked or someone was wrongly trusted with moderator capabilities, and all of the posts got deleted and it was renamed with homophobic slurs. Eh. Sooner or later I guess, since the whole software was discontinued shortly after.
I gonna be honest, it wasnt the quality of the site that killed it but its forced integration with RUclips. All of that backlash made no one want anything to do with it.
I actually miss it. It was fun for a while, and i wish it could come back. If it was back to the way it was with more moderation, I definitely would use it again, probably more than I use Facebook (which is very rare)
I miss it it was cool and I remember they added the photo enhancement and editing feature it was great seems everything is shutting down yahoo answers blackberry and g+
Did you ever try Google+?
Tried it for a month. And stopped
I never tried using google+
Nope done in 2018
I liked it, because of an earlier feature where you could peruse images of people from other countries in they're custom clothing, some of the images were stunning, I haven't seen since images that good to be honest, they were taken so well.

yeah I loved the circles feature too. Can't believe no other social media platform has tried to emulate that feature after google plus went down
@@Kinaibhlan Facebook implemented a clone feature, but they hid it and never marketed it.
Anyone remember that hellish community called "Draw my oc" for and was for art and OCs? I swear this place could get an entire video of it's own explaining all it's dramas if it wasn't all lost.
That sorta sounds familiar to me 👀
We had communities too mainly dedicated to railfans
man I miss Google plus. I made so many friends on there. fortunately I manage to stay in contact with a good amount of them after it went down but I never saw the rest of them again. 😞
I love you papermoon

Nice to hear a real life opinion! :)

Exactly i also joined various communities as well.it was really nice

@@maria-melek sadly we'll only have our memories of our list online loved ones.
Same, I had some good memories from g+
Well cant imagine the catastrophy if G+ continues on beyond pandemic
Well, Google is now planning to "wind down" Google Currents in 2023 and migrate its users to Google Chat.
The last remnant of Google+ will soon be no more... 😞
😞
I loved google plus and I really enjoyed the communities I was a part of on there. Google killed it itself by trying to fix something that wasn't broken.
I remember many use G+ as RolePlaying. I was there and Communities was the best way to make friends for liking a genre or video game fan. It was fun
Anyone else remember the "This is Bob, copy and paste him so he can take down Google+" memes?
Yep
So very vividly.
I remember when I started using Google Plus when I was getting severely bullied in school. I had fun, but I'm pretty sure I was being groomed by someone I talked to everyday, idk why. But I was heartbroken when they suddenly stopped talking to me.
💥💥 I miss Google plus I was in a lot of groups on that site from when I used it from 2012-2017
google + was the wild west of social medias
i miss it so much :(
I used to be an avid user in 2014. I made some good internet friends I still talk to about video games. It was a decent site
I spent my early middle school years with Google+ and it was fun back then :) Had a lot of friendship and a popular local community... Rememberin all those art sharing, memes, questions feels kinda bitter haha. It was a short but pleasant phase.
Same
It had almost everything you wanted, but the circles need work. It felt kinda forced. The site was very hard to navigate for new comers. There wasn't really a reason to switch. Oh and the data breaches.
The trolls on Google plus tho oh my god. That was a thrill of a ride
Yeah but it was fun too tbh
i miss it so much😭😭i had soooo many pictures that are gone now, i wish i could get them back, they hold so many memories from my childhood/teen years💔
i would sell a kidney to bring back google plus. it was my childhood from 2014-17
They have transformed their RUclips platform into more of a social media network, and this transition is gradually taking place.
Good to know.
I still remember liking photos of cars and nature. I feel it like yesterday, I hope to experience that time once more
Oh man... my Nexus S and Google + in 2011 was such a fun experience. Google + was fun but just always an odd kinda thing to me. It had a lot of cool features but had a learning curve to it.

@@HowItHappened Yeah, you should probably do that. Google+ had a white logo and a black logo.
Ngl I miss G+ I used it for a good 3/4 years :[
I met all talented and weird people but it was fun in general
Can’t believe I lost contacts with them all (except one person and it’s been like 6/7 years now since we’ve known each other)
im so mad it got deleted and mad that my dumb younger self never thought to download all my data. all those memories gone.
Same bro same.
Only made that sh*t because it was the only way to keep my (current) RUclips account. It was disgusting forced on us.
This
Calm down
I assumed it died in 2015 or something. It was still around until 2019?
It was?! 😱
common people don't deserve high quality products like google +, they didn't support it back then and now, all of us are badly missing it.
I hope they bring it back. It was more of meeting your people. The right circle for you.
FORCED to join a social network that no one EVER wanted any part with....just for posting a simple comment >:-(
Google+ was the only legit way to get verified on RUclips with a very low subscriber count. too bad its not available anymore.
Didn't see the point of Google+ it. It was being forced on OG youtube users and everyone hated it. All it ever was is an excuse to tie Google login into personal user data
The shit that went down on this site, yall aint ready.
Big facts
honestly. it was so wild.
nothing happened there it was all good and chill
@@DennisHenleyIsAHolyManit was not chill it was crazy bro 😂 i have so many ss, it depends on what communities you were in though.
I think the biggest question is what happened with Vic Gundotra, when he left all of the innovation went with him. Just as things were picking up momentum he announced he was leaving and things were never the same from that point.
they should bring back google+ to compete with more professional/career social media platforms like linked in. I think they would be really receptive
I rocked with G+. I wish they didn't shut it down.
i loved sharing my art on Google Plus
I personally think it partly failed because they overestimated how many friends we actually have..and how close we are to those “mutuals” ..most people on social media are acquaintances, not FRIENDS friends, so they were essentially forcing friendships to be closer than they really are.

I hated Google plus because it forced me to join without my consent and the ability to use RUclips. Felt like a hostage.
My cousins grandpa still has google+ to his day but it’s on his old phone that he doesn’t use anymore
Is it possible for Google Plus to come back to 2022? I still have mewe that similar to google plus.
Coming soon
@@PRASHANTSTYLE4U how?
@@illthicc we are building it
Give me your Twitter
I had made many friends on RUclips through G+ and spent many hours a week using it. I've never like F.
I really miss google +
Yeah me too
I miss Google+ 😢
Same bro same 😢
So did I 😢💔
I was on Google+ when I was an eeny-miny preteen, and I found my bff there, so I do hold it near my heart. I remember quite liking my experience there; the Circles and Communities functions were awesome, the feed design was sleek and the young otakus were thriving. Too bad it's dead now.
I remember that stupid “Real Name policy”.
Orkut was extremely popular in Brazil and India, more than MySpace
Is Google still failing society if other platforms' search results can be more accurate in comparisons of search results?
Man this ironically enough used to be my favorite social media site. But it was so heavily under developed and its community was just a noir version of Reddit
Starts at 4:08
I used to use g+
I liked the communities (or whatever they were called)
In particular, there was this **ahem** yaoi centered one, which allowed nsfw content and I met a lot of cool people. And it was active too! A lot of artists posting daily. Sadly, it either got hacked or someone was wrongly trusted with moderator capabilities, and all of the posts got deleted and it was renamed with homophobic slurs.
Eh. Sooner or later I guess, since the whole software was discontinued shortly after.
The anime communities were the best.
I first used google+ in the beginning In 2015 when I had my 2nd phone called the zte zinger I got for Christmas in 2014, I really miss it
A nice and tidy video. Thank you.
I gonna be honest, it wasnt the quality of the site that killed it but its forced integration with RUclips.
All of that backlash made no one want anything to do with it.
I actually miss it. It was fun for a while, and i wish it could come back. If it was back to the way it was with more moderation, I definitely would use it again, probably more than I use Facebook (which is very rare)
I miss Google plus!!! ❤❤ I wish it would come back!! Only thing was not everyone knew about it really!!! It was the best of the best!!!!
What happened was Bob and his army
I just came here, because i only just remembered about it
Lol I was wondering why you said orkut didnt work out, but I'm from Brasil so that makes sense
It felt good trolling different users on Google+. 😂 Sad to see it’s gone. 😢
720p?
they should just learn from their mistakes and dont do that. Removing an entire platform just puts people off.
I loved it
Hopefully you loved the video too! 😉
Wished I used it more as a kid, I remember the real david hasselhoff followed me.
I only searched what google+ was because of smb crossover
I miss it it was cool and I remember they added the photo enhancement and editing feature it was great seems everything is shutting down yahoo answers blackberry and g+
i miss google + and wish it had become the "facebook"
i find my first...hmm..u know what i maen , i find my first on g+ but after shutting down i almost shattered from inside
Google + really was the premices of reddit
Haha b4 reddit G+ used 2 be my shit especially on samsung galaxy hangouts
Google plus was a fucking outrageous app so many funny things orginated from that app
Even the name was all wrong!
It should've been: G+
I used to use this so much lol but i was in some weird hangouts
i missed google+ so much...
Google will always be better than google+
👍
Melinda are you here?
We love google plus about nine years
We will fix it once and once all
Im pretty close to giving up the Internet all together just to remove Google from my life
I still have it
Prophet Hanna's google + happened, year 2011
I actually didn’t mind Google+ when it was out. I like how it was tied with your RUclips account.
and that's why I don't use google apps.
You do know Facebook released in 2001 not in 2022 Google Plus came out in what 2010 I think do the math
You might wanna double check the date of Facebook’s release…
Google plus came out in 2011 and Facebook came out in 2004 lol
Who is Googol
Google is successful in social media. Have you ever been on RUclips?
It was a fantastic idea that was executed poorly and far too late
This was literally forced on me, I never used it & was glad when it failed. Nazis
I kinda liked it, goodbye g+
I loved G+... Facebook is trash
Good riddance to bad rubbish
Terrible
The robot voice on these videos is really annoying
Thanks 😂
