Jimyounkin: I went to make a comment on a YouTube video today and was welcomed with the above pop-up from YouTube basically telling me to "Start using your full name on YouTube" with an example of what my current YouTube account appears like ("jimyounkin") and how it will appear ("Jim Younkin III"). It appears in the image above that YouTube (owned by Google) is pulling your "real name" from your Google+ account.
According to Bloomberg, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan has expressed concern regarding the potential misuse of platform content by OpenAI’s Sora, an AI-driven video creation tool.
Shaz from TL writes: “Linus Sebastian’s media company, Linus Media Group, is under fire. From ethical concerns with videos, to allegations of workplace harassment.”
If you need (or prefer) to read video content on YouTube, you have options.
man the day is coming.
usernames exist on the internet for a reason
to protect peoples identity's
then social networking bs came along to trick people
into giving up their info.
I cant wait to see the wave of stupid idiots in YouTube comments with their full names in the future.
cant even avoid it now.
I think people will stop posting youtube comments if it is mandatory.
So... I take it no one realizes you aren't forced to use your real name on google+?
I never use my real name for anything. I don't need to and there is nothing forcing me to.
I dont understand the reasoning behind youtube trying to get people to use their real names. Have they not seen the hate involved in their comments section. All that would do is encourage violence, i can see it now "Troll Hunting". The new internet sport where tracking down real life trolls will be very popular
the people working over at youtube have just been going downhill with managing their website.
