macrocephalicI don’t really get what the hate was for Google+, it was better than the alternative/competitor at the time (Facebook)
Google wasn’t comfortable in letting it grow naturally over time. They tried really hard to push on people by combining it with other more popular google products when it didn’t really make sense (i.e. Youtube). Also, as a teen at the time google plus just felt nerdy and weird. It didn’t really feel like something they cool kids would use so no one used it.
For a while, Google bonuses were tied to social integration. That’s why you saw the huge influx of insanity.
