Wow, youtube. That’s really rude.

balddumborat:

They want to display my full name on my youtube account now.

WHY do they think that’s a good idea? People have usernames for a reason. And when you say you don’t want to display your real name, they give a list of “Why don’t you want to?” and most of it has nothing to do with one of the main reasons why most people would NOT be comfortable giving their full, real name out on the internet to a massive community.

Maybe I’m over-reacting but this decision seems extremely insensitive to the people who chose usernames NOT using their full names for a REASON.

They can ONLY show your full name if you have it set in Google+. Just don’t do it and all they have is your username.

    I’ve already been asked twice for this thing. It’s quite annoying.
