YouTube wants users to use their real names

Mass Exodus from YouTube in T minus 10....
This just in http://vimeo.com/ see a mass increase of users...

^ this is the future the moment they start.
 
A good idea. Might slow down the rancid troll churn happening in the comments section.
 
A window popped up the other day while I was watching a video, asking me the exact same question. I said hell No!

But I saw users that have accepted this, they're very brave I tell you.
 
I youtube all the time and never seen this option. Also I killed my Google+ account loooong ago so I really don't understand how they going to do this for the non google+ people.
 
Obviously google needs to take on Facebook so they need real people to be interacting before they can drive numbers. One rapid but ill-advised way to do this is convert current users by changing their handles to their real names.

I guess one will have to have multiple accounts - your real public person and your other business and personal handles.
 
I dont see the big deal. Rather than sensationalizing it the article could say that Google is giving you the option to use a single account across all their services. change one option/profile image etc and you change them all. I prefer anonymity but I can see the appeal.
