Comment summary: Comments on Google Plus present a mixture of opinions. Positive aspects include a good format for sharing information, and some users preferred it over Facebook. However, criticisms include its forced integration with other Google services, lack of certain features compared to competitors, and issues with privacy settings. Ultimately, Google Plus failed to surpass established social networks, leading to its shutdown in 2019, partly due to data leaks.

After facebook ruined my privacy settings and made everything public (and restored ALL my deleted posts) for the ...... (lost count how many times)

I closed my facebook account and switched over to g+. I've only ever had one issue with G+, and it's not even googles fault, it just turns out that some of my friends are too stubborn to create an account. (even the "friends" that have android phones that use a g+ account for Google Play)

Bah, those "friends" don't know what they are missing.

I have never seen any Game Spam on G+, possibly because it has it's own section that's not part of the main feed. Hell, I haven't seen any major spam of any kind on G+, possibly because google do not allow "any old app" to just post to your feed without your consent.

Either way, loving it, and not looking back!

Welcome to the cloud: Google Plus and everything you had in it has now «evaporated».

Was never a good social platform. simply too complicated to use and not user friendly in the slightest.

Glad it’s discontinued in 2020.

What is Google Plus?

The Google+ project aims to make sharing on the web more like sharing in real life. Sharing is a huge part of the web, a part that Google+ makes a lot simpler with these features:

  • Circles makes it easy to put your friends from Saturday night in one circle, your parents in another, and your boss in a circle by himself, just like real life. Sharing the right stuff with the right people shouldn’t be a hassle.

  • Sparks is a feature that looks for videos and articles it thinks you’ll like, so when you’re free, there’s always something to watch, read, and share.

  • Hangouts brings the unplanned meet-up to the web, with group video chat. Let buddies know you’re hanging out and see who drops by for a face-to-face-to-face chat.

  • Huddle offers simple group texting, turning a bunch of different conversations into one simple group chat, so everyone gets on the same page long before thumbs get sore.
