Google is splitting Google+ from Youtube

According to an article in a Google+ post by Bradley Horowitz (Google's VP of Photos and Streams), the following changes are confirmed:

1. Google+ profiles will no longer be part of its regular accounts. It will also be removed form Google's universal toolbar.

2. Youtube is breaking up with Google+ which means that a user will no longer need a Google+ account in order to leave a comment on a Youtube video.

3. Google+ Collections and Hangouts will remain as they are and will probably see some improvements.

We all know that Google is a formidable force when it comes to Tech giants but will these changes see its stake in the social network playground improve?
