I posted a video on youtube, only to find that Google created a Google+ account for me. Since I don't want a Google+ account I've deleted the account, and of course the video is now inaccessible.

Is there any alternative to YouTube that doesn't involve this sort of idiocy?

It's become more than a little bit creepy. I mean presumably they insisted on logging in with a verified ID so that they could track and store everything I watched or what I left in comment form, etc, etc? And I guess the Google Earth software probably records where people look at, for how long, and all that jazz.

Definitely creepy - I'm pretty much committed to using Gmail but don't want to use anything else, and it's becoming a real problem keeping it that way.

Yeah, the google mail thing makes me uneasy too. But, the trade off on having an automated online backup of all of my email is worth it still. Just.
