Ever since Google has been integrating all their services to Google+, I have been using Google differently now:
1) Anonymous or no commenting on YouTube
2) Using Windows 8.1 Mail app to access Gmail. Because seeing that Google+ notification icon is distracting and annoying me
3) Stopped rating apps on Google Play store
4) Stopped contributing reviews to Local
5) Trying to stop using Google's Web products in favor of apps instead because of that damn Notifications bar.
I understand using a single Google Account for all services, but linking them all to one service where that service acts as a Social Network is not a service I would want to use anymore. They acquired Meeboo bar, and it seems they want every service they own have that bar and I despised that bar. Totally the wrong direction to take.
Treating each service separately would have been better and giving the option to the user to show that bar would have been great.
