There were plenty of people for me on Google+; nearly as many as on FB. But my FB friends' interests (for want of a better word) didn't pollute my YouTube recommendations, Google search results, etc. I mean Lord love 'em and all, but some of those people listen to and watch stuff that would make me long for deafness and blindness, have weird-ass hobbies I don't even want to think about, are heavily into alt-med, conspiracy crap, and UFOs, or are living in places that aren't even on the political spectrum anymore. The problem with G+ was that it was an all-inclusive package deal that touched all Google properties (except Gmail). I have an account because it's necessary to have one, but it's just a page in the middle of nowhere with no access, friendless, and looking forward to staying that way.
