At least I have the option to delete my FB account. On the other hand, Google has lately been aggressively pushing me to convert my YouTube account into a G+ account. Once this is actually forced upon me, is there any way to 'delete' my Google+ account without deleting my YouTube one?

I get pestered with messages from Google on various services asking for my phone, merging/creating accounts, joining Google+, etc. Often the UI is so that for an average user it's not clear how to opt-out from it. Undoubtedly on purpose.

Each time you want to sign out of Google, there's an ever present, huge bright button - "Join Google+". I suppose more than one person clicked it by accident or out of frustration :) On rare occasions when I use Chrome, it never forgets to remind me how I'm missing out and should totally sign-in to Chrome.

Staying relevant is hard work :)

I know it's not the best solution, but I have a dummy G+ account for my youtube account, so it doesn't pester me.
