Would not connect to YouTube account (kept giving me ‘invalid channel name’). Not
very intuitive. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Documentation is… alright? Most
importantly this plug-in will not delete itself from my WP installation. Very disappointed.
Are you just harvesting emails and API tokens or what’s the deal here???
