Great, what about separating the video service next ? All other issues aside it's kinda creepy when they want to know your real name (due to real names policy) when you want to watch a video tagged as 18+ only (because for that you need to log in).


FYI Google recently reversed it's decision on real names: http://www.zdnet.com/google-reverses-real-names-policy-70000...


when you want to watch a video tagged as 18+ only (because for that you need to log in).

You don't need to log in if the video is embedded on a page, or if you open the player directly like this (/v/<id> in URL): https://www.youtube.com/v/UF8uR6Z6KLc
