A sweary, well-spoken young woman from Essex has had more than half a million hits on a YouTube video she posted just two days ago in which she sings a twee song entitled "Fuck You, Google+" accompanied by a guitar*.
Google confirmed in September that it was in the process of integrating Google+ into YouTube in a clear move to satisfy admen. At the time, the company claimed it was tailoring YouTube comments to be more "relevant" to its users.
But some netizens of the service seem to disagree.
An online petition has been signed by thousands of YouTubers who are unhappy with the switch.
Google+ requires users to have a public profile across Mountain View's massive online estate to allow them to be tracked around the web for Google to better target ads for them.
"Fuck you, Google+, your website can get fucked", sings Emma Blackery, who - at time of writing - had collected 680,491 hits over the past 48 hours on YouTube.
