Honestly, Nico is a much better alternative to Youtube if it had a larger western userbase.
The site you linked to looks like it'll die out within a year. "Competing" with Youtube is like competing with Steam... it isn't going to ever happen. Sure, they had rough starts, but at their origins they had no competition whatsoever. Now that they're complete gods in their respective markets, nobody can ever hope to overthrow them. You can't bring a "growing" service to compete, you literally need to have years of development before even ENTERING the fray or you get beaten out. You aren't competing with the OLD Youtube, or the OLD Steam, you're competing with what they are today.
The only negative about the Google+ integration has just been the shitty comments section. Nobody is complaining about anything other than the comments.
