Uploading to YouTube without a Google+ account

I've been a YouTube for sharing family videos for the past few years. I thought Google was the best thing since sliced bread and when Google+ came out I signed up immediately. Google+ is pants, so I deleted my Google+ account.

Whenever I try to upload a video to YouTube, I can't because I need to create my Google+ account again. There is a way to solve the problem...

1. When prompted, create your Google+ account
2. Go into YouTube settings and near the avatar there's a link "revert back to your YouTube username instead of the Google+"
3. Once reverted back, you can safely delete your Google+ account and upload to YouTube!
