Cool point guys. Maybe it's not a big deal, but I found it really interesting. If Google doesn't want to use their own system (regardless of the fear of the feedback they might get), it seems like some major retooling needs to happen with their YouTube comment system. Maybe it could actually be usable! I did not know you could still comment on the release with Google+, but again this points to the same problem when you're okay with feedback on one platform and not the other when your company made both.
For the two of you wondering why this is news, it may not be. Again, I just found it interesting and wanted to share and get your feedback. I'm new to the forum and it seemed appropriate to post it in news, but if you have a better suggestion I'm all ears. General discussion maybe?
Really cool first posting experience - thanks everyone!
