RIP: YouTube Usernames

[YamiHoshi]

Back in 2008, they were already planning this to happen, and now, 5 years later, it's definitely happening: You can no longer sign in using your YouTube Account.
Instead, you'll now be forced to sign in, using your GMail Account.
Here's what I've just came across:

They've been doing this for a while.

 

[GalacticPetey]

This was changed quite a while ago.

 

[Smg2daisy]

I knew that and I hated it.

 

[YamiHoshi]

I've never seen this notice, until a few hours ago, actually.

 

[Smg2daisy]

It will be seen when you are trying to like a video.
Or further, when you try to do software update for your phone

 

[YamiHoshi]

I hardly use YouTube on my Phone, unless it's in Google Chrome.
And I also hardly bother to Like a Video (laziness).

I sure miss old school YouTube from 2008 and 2009. Good times.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

I didn't even sign up for YouTube and now I have an account that I didn't ask for.

 

[MnSG]

I don't even have a YouTube account, so this doesn't bother me that much.

MCS, I even miss the YouTube I knew in 2006, way better experience than in 2008.

I don't really remember YouTube much from 2006. I mean, I watched some YouTube videos back then, but I was only in 3rd grade at the time, so it's a bit hazy. I joined YouTube on my original account back in January 2008, so the old layout holds lots of nostalgia for me. Now it's just complete crap.
