It's important because it limits the rights of others. You can't reply, like or report older comments anymore, and it's a nuicense. Google is trying to become a facebook or twitter, and it is not. It's a video site. They are trying to shove this Google + junk down our throats, and we don't want it. We want our old YouTube back! This making changes and 'fixing' YouTube has gone too far Google. We just want the old comment section back. I'm sorry, but merging it with our Google+is just stupid. It was awesome just the way it was.
