First of all, you need Google+ in order to use Youtube (very hard without it) while people just want to watch streams, they don't care about failed social networks. This is why twitch was great.



IIRC (but correct me if I'm wrong), Youtube works just fine without a login; 18+ content, rating and commenting won't work though.


Well its possible, but its certainly not easy. It asks you to merge your G+ account all the time and is generally just annoying.

I ended up creating 3 pages in g+ for my channel that I don't even use, when trying to avoid G+ Youtube integration.

Then I just gave up and merged them.
