Remember when they forced everyone with a Google service account (Youtube, gmail, etc.) to automatically have an account on their attempted social media site? What was it called, circles or something? I think they saw it was failing and tied everyone with a Google account to the social site in an attempt to make it look like the social site actually had members. The problem was that, still, nobody used it and what use it it to have millions on inactive users on a social media platform.?
