    I don’t know whether I carelessly clicked a “link accounts” button. I may have. I felt and feel that my name was changed without my explicit permission

    On the good side, several YouTubers respect real name commenters on live streams more than pseudonymous ones

      Sorry, you misunderstood - the change was forced, it’s not what I’m referring to. I don’t remember the exact way it worked, but I’m pretty sure they were pretty explicit about what the change is, at least.

      What I’m saying is, you can go back to using your own nickname - I don’t remember the exact process used, but I think the trick was to create a “brand account”, which is basically an additional identity tied to your account, move everything to that identity, and use it instead of your private identity with your real name.
