Summary
Stephen says that this vlog was recorded on November 7th, since he tried to film a vlog the day before, but there was a lot more that he needed to say. He uses this day to explain YouTube's new comment system, where commenting requires users to have a Google+ account. He goes through the pros and cons of the new system: links, formatting, moderation, Google+ integration, comment sorting, etc. On the whole, Stephen says that the change is a good thing, barring the initial change and glitches that accompany such a change.
