After YouTube asked me a million time if I wanted to use my real name.

Youtube had been bugging me for quiet a while to use my real name. I declined every single time.

I just got up and noticed that I have 2 Youtube accounts now, one has my real name while the other has my old Youtube account name. It tells me that I can switch between them easily.

The joke here is that the account with my real name has all my subscriptions and the other account has all my play lists, history and favorites.

I am literally being forced to use Google+ to have an avatar. Eat a dick, Google+.

Yep, and it keeps making me google+ accounts automatically although I don't want them. I'm thinking it's time to go to another service, maybe vimeo.

Yeah more like all... Unless you count streamers, then twitch takes care of 99% of the rest.

Thats why I recommend never giving your name unless you are sure you want them to have it. Basically its the rule of internet that once you put something out there people and even reputable companies can do whatever they want with your information. But thats just business and even if people misuse my information I am almost unable to take offence at anything.

Little did I know they had my name and 9 years later it's part of YouTube
