I'd use Google+ more if the default view didn't show everybody's posts. There's some people I'd like to follow but only want to show when I select a specific stream because they're noisier than everybody else on the platform. Instead, if I want to follow them at all they dominate the primary view. So my choice appears to be to ignore them completely, or live with their posts cluttering the interface unless I navigate to each sub-circle to see everybody else's posts. There needs to be a way to turn off some users's content from the primary stream while still following them. Maybe there is, and I'm just not aware of it.
That's actually a big part of why I closed my Facebook account. They used to allow you to see the photo stream by default, which was fine. Then they took that away and it was endless noise without some mandatory clicking. It simply wasn't worth it for me, so I left. G+ is starting off on the same foot, but with the added hurt of nobody posting anything interesting to it; the options for me are really annoying noise, slightly less annoying noise or silence. Not exactly useful...
