This popular YouTuber is accusing the Google Plus shutdown of breaking YouTube Hugely popular YouTuber Mark \u201cMarkiplier\u201d Fischbach has determined the potential culprit of YouTube\u2019s recent issues, which he believes are due to the ongoing shutdown of social network Google Plus. According to Markiplier, Google Plus\u2019s deep integration into (and subsequent removal from) YouTube\u2019s website could be responsible for the service\u2019s widely-reported bugs, including its global blackout on October 16. \u201cAs they\u2019re shutting down Google Plus, it is breaking more and more things inside YouTube,\u201d he explained. \u201cThese things are still broken \u2013 and they\u2019re getting worse.\u201d He claimed that he\u2019d reached out to YouTube about its issues, to no avail: which he believed was because the site\u2019s staff doesn\u2019t know how to fix the problem. \u201cI think the reason is, they don\u2019t know how to fix it,\u201d he suggested. \u201cI think that\u2019s the main problem with YouTube right now. \u2026Google Plus was so deeply integrated into YouTube that they have no idea how to separate it out at this point.\u201d He theorized that YouTube had pushed a change to the site\u2019s code on the date of the blackout, which ultimately prompted the shutdown. Additionally, he thinks that YouTube staff might be trying to understand what caused this issue in the interim before pushing for another change. Markiplier felt that YouTube\u2019s issues wouldn\u2019t be placed in such a bad light if they communicated with their community, stating that the site is \u2018pretending nothing is wrong.\u2019 Google Plus is being removed over a ten-month period due to an initially undisclosed security breach in the platform, which allegedly exposed users\u2019 profile information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
