How to recover your YouTube account, when you delete it by accident when trying to rid yourself of Google+

Sadly the only way to recover your YouTube channel is to reinstall google+ which is probably what caused this problem in the first place. Sometime in 2014 google decided to make a bad thing (google+) interdependent with a good thing (youTube). I deleted my Youtube by accident when I wanted to get rid of a 2nd Skip Bensley profile on google+ but now there are sadly two of them. Not my choice of course but it’s google being google. It would have been better if there were a way to merge accounts but that would make too much sense and of course Google is not in the business of making sense.

Here is my restored YouTube channel. If you subscribe I’ll post a personal video thank you.  https://www.youtube.com/user/SkipBensley

Today I was editing my google+ settings and I inadvertently deleted my old brillliantvideo account with videos going back 10 years when all I wanted to delete was my google+ account on that user name. Why does google make it so f-ing hard to do anything with its platforms? Now I am on f-ing Google hold listening to f-ing google muzak.

Less social is more.

I deleted my Google+ account yesterday, did you notice? Probably not.  It was a clean sterile place where nobody cared what I posted and only a very few saw and actually commented.  It was like an after thought ghost town,  and one more social avenue for my inane drivel. I thought Google+ would catch on for serious discussion and answers but that’s what Quora is for.
