In spite of the tremendous potential that Google’s ambitious social media platform showed in the beginning, it has has an extremely disappointing turn-out over its four years of activity. Think about it, how many people do you actually know on Google Plus?
It’s quite difficult to point out what Goolge+ is missing exactly, but it clearly lacks that spark that brings in massive amounts of users and that leads to a successful social media platform. And it seems that Google has decided not to reboot Google+, but rather to dismember it and sell it for parts, so that step by step it could turn towards the light and slip into oblivion. It’s actually a little bit sad that not a lot of people will even acknowledge its disappearance, as they are most likely to focus on the bright and shiny additions that Google will be making to several others of its platforms.
Google Is Preparing Google Plus' Exit From The Social Media Scene
The number of Google+ users was inflated after Google made an account mandatory for the more popular YouTube. Google bosated 540 million users last year, but according to The New York Times, almost half of that number don't actually use it.
"We’ve also heard that it doesn’t make sense for your Google+ profile to be your identity in all the other Google products you use," Bradley Horowitz, vice president of Google streams, photos and sharing, wrote in a blog post detailing the scaling back of Google+.
Now, to use YouTube and other Google tools, you just need a basic Google account — no social networks required.
