Google + and Orkut shut down Long ago. They never launched these again. Maybe people forget their names. Weren’t they better compared to now-a-days regual social media?

I’m sure we’d be forced to use it if we own an android phone or Gmail account

That's part of why Google's attempt failed so hard. They did force you to use it if you used several of their products. Comment on a YT video? Now you have a Google+ profile with that in its feed.

They basically created a social media profile of your activity, automatically, any time you interacted with a handful of their products. Like, WTF were they thinking?
