To show my general displeasure

gonna have a huge rant about how google and youtube is a load of account linking crap

hopefully without any asterisks...

Today I cleared by browser cache and cookies and all of that jazz.

say goodbye to my youtube account.

I've already jumped through googles stupid hoops for my old youtube account, so guess what?
Can't remember google account or my youtube link (as it will not link a legacy account because 'my new account is already linked to a google account')

ORLY? like the one I've just had to create all completely new and shiney???

And guess what?
When I sign in to youtube with the new account, it signs me into a google account, so when I perform a search through my browser homepage, I look and see that it has signed me into a google user account, so now google is happily watching me wherever I go unless I remember to sign out of everything.
And if I sign out of my now signed in account page for my browser default, it signs me out of youtube now too. Just great, fantastic, just what I always wanted.

WAY TO GO MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO USE YOUR SERVICE YOUTUBE, WAY TO GO GOOGLESPY MAKING ME SIGN UP FOR YET ANOTHER EMPTY HOTMAIL/GOOGLE/YOUTUBE ACCOUNT. THANKYOU FOR WASTING MY TIME BY TRYING TO HARVEST MY NAME, TELEPHONE NUMBER, DATE OF BIRTH AND POSTCODE.


does anyone out there know of somewhere I can email to register my displeasure at youtube and google having to go through all of this yet again, and loosing all my previous youtube bookmarks and subscriptions?



I really sick and [insert invective here] tired of this rubbish, properly and very angry now, infact, I've had my first smoke in more than 5 months over this nonsense.

jumpy is not a happy bunny right now.
If there were a bloke standing outside in the street who was responsible for making the decision to link all of these accounts together and have it almost impossible to reset/recover usernames and passwords for erroneous accounts that had to be created to continue using a particular website, I'd split his skull to the teeth with my billhook, with a smile on my lips and a jaunty step to my walk.
I really do despise having my time and effort wasted - and this time it has brought the rage down... do you ever hear the booming of drums accompanied by the vague smell of blood and smoke.... where you can hear the roll-call of your ancestors screaming for blood and death?





I'm going to have to go away and calm down for a bit.
