Even better, Google is deprecating the OpenId login to push Google+; the new OAuth login _requires_ you to have a Google+ account. So if you use your Gmail for say StackExchange, get ready for your Google+ page!

I don't think this is true. Google is pushing Google+ login, but you can use that without a Google+ account, and the normal OAuth2 login is still around and not being depreciated.

Or don't use playlists and find other websites.
It's pretty hard to find as much content as Youtube elsewhere, from experience all the youtube-wannabe websites have tremendously less content. Or do you have a link?

I made this a few years ago:
Try this for youtube playlists: http://instadj.com
Every time I want to create a new playlist, I create a new G+ profile, then delete it immediately afterwards. It is tedious. I'm sure many other people, when faced with roadblocks like these, create a do-nothing profile but don't bother deleting afterwards.
