It forced me to connect mine.
I had a Youtube account before all this bullshit... and had to create a google account just to sign into Youtube when they decided to link them. The google account was created using my hotmail email (I wasn't using gmail at all until about a year ago) and it stopped recognising my password, username and claimed the hotmail address wasn't linked to any account, so I can no longer sign in if I wanted to.
Now assuming that original google account is still active (I think all I used it for was to connect with YouTube and signed up for a blogspot account) I must now have 4 google accounts.
