The only useful thing that happened in that update was a notification system. Which they severed from G+. Then made way better. Then reverted back to the way worse version. Then broke it even more somehow.

no one wanted to
And yet they remained on Youtube... Same company that repeatedly showed total disrespect for user privacy, but people somehow view Google+, Youtube, Android, Chrome, ReCaptcha, etc, etc as all separated entities. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

tbf...it was completely different in 2006 to seems like 2009?...before Google owned it...but yeah It's a tech conglomeration pretty much. They all follow suit when one platform takes action.
Some went to Vimeo...they immediately came back. Can't compete with something on that scale. Users built the website with user content...then they pulled a Houdini..well maybe it wasn't a Houdini...it was pretty full-scale and blatant heh.

Yup. We have antitrust laws, but for some reason noone ever thought to apply them to those tech companies... 😐

Google exposes my data and they "deal with it later."
I expose my data, and I'm a "creep" who is acting "inappropriately." And I can't "come to the park anymore." And now it's impossible for me to "get approved for a lease application." So I have to live in a van DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!!!

You wanna really get into it (and never sleep again) put your email into https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and let them notify you whenever your email and other data are stolen from some website (well, when it's publicly known, at least).

Wired
"IN OCTOBER, GOOGLE dramatically announced that it would shut down Google+ in August 2019, because the company had discovered through an internal audit (and a simultaneous Wall Street Journal exposé) that a bug in Google+ had exposed 500,000 users' data for about three years. Maybe it should have pulled the plug sooner.
On Monday, Google announced that an additional bug in a Google+ API, part of a November 7 software update, exposed user data from 52.5 million accounts. Or as Google puts it, "some users were impacted." Google found the flaw, and corrected it by November 13. This means that app developers would have had improper user data access for six days. Google says it doesn't have any evidence that the data was misused during that time, or that Google+ was compromised by a third party. But the company is now moving up Google+'s termination date to April, and it will cut off access to Google+ APIs in 90 days."
Engadget
"Google's semi-defunct social media platform Google+ has suffered its second data breach in three months and, as a result, will be completely shuttered in April, four months earlier than previously planned."
(Thanks for the cake day wishes!)
