Last time it created a god damn Google+ account automatically for me. Ironically, I had to Google how to undo that shit and unlink and delete the Google+ account.

"Do you want to change your username to your real name?"

NO.

"Are you sure...?"

YES.

"Okay...Why don't you want to use your real name?"

*SIGH*...

*clicks no*
"We'll ask you again later."
WHAT PART OF -NO- DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Seriously, Youtube?

I've just been waiting for the day it automatically does it for everybody. Youtube does that shit all the time, ask you a bunch and then decide for you in the end.

"Google updating your Youtube account!"

<> Use current name
<> Use a new name


No the FUCK THEY ARE NOT! *clicks X in the upper right popup*

It looks like you have no choice, but to "upgrade" to some inane Google+ account, but you can click the X to close the popup and they reply "Okay, we'll ask again later." Go right ahead. But I am going to say "No." later, too.

This has been happening to me a lot and it's getting seriously annoying. Why are they doing this in the first place?

To better track your movements on the greater web so that their information on you as a consumer is more accurate and has greater breadth and depth, thereby making it more valuable when they go and sell their data on you to marketing firms and the like.
