youtube and google+

ok, I am totally confused and probably totally stupid.   How the heck do they work together? 

I posted a comment on youtube on someone's video.  I got a lot of responses.  On reading them,  it became clear that I wasn't seeing a certain person's responses.   When I asked about that on youtube, I was told I had to view them on google + (I have very little experience using google +).   It turns out somehow my youtube account is somehow connected with google+.  I was able to sign into google+ via my youtube password.  So I got into google+, but where to I go to see comments on youtube videos????   I am sorry to do this, but I am totally confused.

Google owns YouTube. They linked YT and Google+ a while ago.

yeah I know that.  I am just trying to understand how it works.  I don't understand why I can't see this one guy's replies on youtube.  I was told to go to google+, but where on google+?

 They probably don't want you to this one guy.

Is there some place on google+ for reading youtube comments that I am somehow missing?

I don't know if this is the same for everyone, but when I sign into my Google account, the small circle to the right of the screen with the little bell symbol inside it is where I find my messages waiting for me.

The circle turns red when the inbox is full and gives you the number of how many messages are waiting to be read.

I have never gotten a message in my little bell.

that is not what I was talking about.

You know when go on to youtube and you watch a video?   Below the video are comments people make about the video.  Where on Google+ do you go to see those comments?

On the Google+ page for the uploader. Here's an example from YouTuber "Tuxedo Mark". https://plus.google.com/102191678969705810740/posts Those are comments on his YT videos, on Google+.

"Well what about MY YouTube comments? Where can I see those on Google+?" is what you're no doubt thinking. My answer: Don't know.

When you click the bell notifier in the upper right hand corner you can click where your getting comments. If it's not showing up click on previously read. Then click on the notification message such as "Youtube user mentioned you" or "Youtube user commented on" and scroll down within the notification popup. At the bottom you can click "view post" and that goes to the comment on google +. Therein you can view all the comments on a thread via google +.
