    Remember back in the old web when letting people know your real name was a horrifying breach of personal privacy? Heck, having the same username for multiple places gave me the hives, if it was unique enough.

    We need to go back to those days; not just for safety reasons but because there’s a freedom to the individualized anonymity of being a (apparently) distinct user in each instance.

      Google: DO NOT SHARE YOUR REAL NAME ON YOUTUBE!!!

      also Google: so we merged Google+ with YouTube, so now you need to use your real name. Thanks
