YouTube will be one of the first products to make this change, and you can learn more on their blog. As always, your underlying Google Account won’t be searchable or followable, unlike public Google+ profiles. And for people who already created Google+ profiles but don’t plan to use Google+ itself, we’ll offer better options for managing and removing those public profiles.The company also announced the change on its YouTube blog saying, “YouTube will no longer require a Google+ profile when you want to upload, comment, or create a channel.
