I'm Quitting YouTube

Announcement: I'm quitting YouTube
Reason
Hello guys. I am officially quitting YouTube. This is because once I deleted my Google+ account, my YouTube channel is gone, too. I wanted to delete my Google+ account as it doesn't give me freedom to name my Channel whatever I want, like "hewziheng", as it doesn't abide by their names policy. I know Google is doing their best to maintain YouTube, but the new channel design and Google+ all don't give me the freedom to do what I want, unlike the very first version of YouTube Channels, where you can do all sorts of things to your channel.

And, it wasn't nice that Google never put "YouTube Channel will be deleted" under the "What happens when your Google+ account is deleted" bar.

This shakes trust in Google and their customers/consumers, and I am starting to lose that trust, too.

I've spent lots of time on YouTube, sharing the awesomeness of physics, lego and coaching people on PSLE questions, but all of which were gone in an instance of a second.

I really hope Google can do a reflection about this matter.

Please comment on your own opinion on this matter, too.
