Probably a dumb question, thanks for all the front end responses, I’ve been watching using them but want to engage. I really don’t want to keep using Google though!

Or should I just get used to not engaging or maybe bringing videos here and commenting if they’re that interesting.

    The platform is owned by Google. By using YouTube in any way, watching, liking, subscribing, commenting, searching, clicking, all of it, you’re “using Google”.

    So, the answer is that you cannot use YouTube and not use Google.

    If Google is broken up, that might change, but I’m not sure if that will ever happen, what form that might take or if it would ever happen at all.

        i think their point is if you want to comment make a google account and comment… or dont.

        personally, it boggles the mind why anyone would want to do that.
