Dear YouTube, I am a YouTube partner with 3 YouTube accounts on 3 different topics because you don't allow me to publish videos in some kinds of streams that people can subscribe to separately.
I used to be able to log in and out of them at my leisure and answer all my inbox mail, do maintenance, reply to people, etc.
However, now that they are linked to Google accounts, signing out from YouTube and signing in with different email address actually screws up all of my other tabs that had Gmail and all the other services logged in.
Please address this somehow. You are really making life hard for me.
I just weep for all the people who have been permanantly locked out of their accounts and have had to start over. I spend hours on skype each week trying to help these people regain access to their accounts. Sometimes I can help other times I can't. For some people I just have to tell them that they have to start all over from a brand new channel.
It was just a waste of time. I had to go to the bother of creating a 3rd Google account, which i will never use, as i didn't want my youtube account linked to my primary Gmail account.
That analogy is not a good explanation!! I don't need a google account since the only google service I use is Youtube so my old settings were fine! Your linking service is the worst I didn't recieved anything on my cellphone! Since Google bought Youtube I'm thinking on closing my account! Don't keep losing users with slow loads and that VEVO stuff!
"Your old YouTube account is a lot like that cell phone. It still works, but it’s not as fast, secure and efficient as the Google Account we’re asking you to link to. "
what the hell does that supposed to mean. upgrades to youtube accounts CAN be MADE WITHOUT dissolving the old youtube account and force google video and google accounts on us.
youtube was VERY fine before you guys had to come in. more ads, worse design. and my favorite, google engineers LOVE TO break working features of youtube and add undesired features.
Received an email today to link my youtube account. My youtube account was setup in April of 2011. It was linked to my google account (gmail) at that time. When I logon to my youtube account, under settings it lists my gmail account.
had to start over cuz my flip mino HD wouldn't recognize the linking and couldn't use the direct upload to youtube feature of the flip mino program. I haven't added any of my old videos to my new youtube account because these new changes has caused me to lose interest.
Google wants to take over everything. I am a casual youtube user and do not want to link my account. Why should I? The cell phone comparison is sooo bad. That is a hardware analogy not software. That was a poorly written explanation. Does it really matter how I log in? Knowing google though it's going to be a loosing battle and i'll be one person that stops using you tube. They will not care about me but I know that my life will not change or be displaced without me using youtube. So for me you tube R.I.P.
Your reasoning is very flimsy! The fact is that there is no scenerio that backs up your dumb analogy. The response and capability anyone ecperiences is based on the processor they use, their software and the methodology they use for connecting to the Internet. Its really insulting that you think users are so dumb they would believe this nonsense. Google just wants to cram more garbage down our throats. It won't work and you'll just enable serious competition to rush in and fill the void. And many, MANY of us will do just that. Please rethink this stupidity and fire the idiot who thought this up!!!
I think we can all agree that this is a mistake. We don't want all the different things we do lumped together into single accounts. We don't want better video recommendations, which in essence narrow the content we see down to the things we like to see most over a period of time (while in the long run I like to research many different things).
Why don't you just make it optional? Really, tell me, why don't you let your users choose? Or is providing service to them really that low on your list of priorities?
I wasn't aware when I created my old YouTube account after May 2009 that it would be PERMANENTLY linked to my Google account. I don't remember seeing any warning.
Now I want to unlink the old YouTube account from my Google account so I can link a new YouTube account but am unable to do so.

Logging to your YouTube account is always a great idea. There is nothing more frustrating than not finding a video you recently watched on YouTube.. When you are logged in, YouTube remember your views history, so you can come back later to watch it if you like..

Oh please. I like to keep one email account (for obvious reasons) and a couple youtube accounts (for obvious reasons.)
ReplyDeleteI'm not clear on what your motivation is, but my convienience doesn't appear to enter into it.
It is really more secure though? If your email gets hacked, your youtube and any other google accounts will be automatically hacked as well. :S
ReplyDeleteThere needs to be a way to unlink a perma-linked Google/YouTube account and link the YouTube account to another Google account.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Youtube still cannot be connected to Google Apps Accounts in Austria/Europe :-(
ReplyDeletePlease consider enabling this!

ReplyDeleteRidiculous
ReplyDeleteGreat change, this needed to happen! Made my life a lot easier. Google, you're the best!
ReplyDeleteOk. But what if our Google account is a "Google Apps account", in other words not compatible with YouTube in selected countries.
