What is Reddit's opinion of Google+?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

"Lack of Mobile Presence".

Um, hullo? Google+ App on Google Play Store. Google+ App for iOS, iTunes store.

Idiotic article is idiotic.

While some folks despise it, location sharing is built into the Google+ app.

Absolutely no way. People are constantly talking about WhatsApp all over the world yet I barely hear about Hangouts outside of the Android enthusiast echo chamber.

> Out of the Billions of Gmail accounts

Accounts don't equal individual people, and they certainly don't equal monthly active users.

and it only recently (1 year ago) passed the 1 billion club in the first place

and I can say the same thing about Google+. The social network that people say has failed and is a ghost town

Do you really think over 1 billion people actively went out and installed Google+?

~~I'm in the same boat. Tried a variety of methods and still no option to follow.~~

UPDATE:

So out of curiosity, I looked up one of the names from the leaderboards in the Google+ app and used the Follow option there to add the person. I then restarted MFF and bam! There he was. I have a sneaking suspicion it has to do with Google's (very) recent move to abandon Google+ in favor of the new Gamer IDs. In short, if you can't find the Follow option via the leaderboards, I ask: have you recently been forced to register a Gamer ID? If so, you may be out of luck, barring copying & pasting 100 names over from the leaderboards to Google+. If someone can find me a way of looking up the leaderboards in the Google+ app, that would probably facilitate things.

To the person above me having similar issues: did you recently have to create a new Gamer ID?

UPDATE #2 (Resolved):

Okay, so I've got this. If you are having issues with no follow option via the leaderboards in the game because you're using a Gamer ID, there is a workaround. However, you'll need the Google+ app instead of the Google Play app.

• Open the Google+ app.
• Search for the Marvel: Future Fight community.
• Request to join (if you want).
• Tap where it says Members. This will bring up a list of members.
• You can now tap on each member individually to go to their profile.
• You should see a Follow button. Tap to follow, or alternatively, you can tap and hold to add that person to a particular circle. I created a circle specifically for MFF. You can do this by opening the sidebar, tapping People, and then selecting the Following tab.
• Now open up MFF. If you had it previously open, close it down and restart the game.
• Check your friends tab. The trophy should register, and there should now be a list of everyone you added from the community under the Facebook tab.
• Reap your rewards.

Hopefully this helps anyone in a similar position to mine. At the very least, it should streamline the process. Just be certain you've logged in with both Facebook and your Google Gamer ID.
