Success being quite relative. I was forced to sign up to both Gmail and G+, because that's what my employer requires, and I wanted the job.
I access Gmail exclusively through my Windows Phone. I don't use G+ at all. The community of interest thing doesn't hold much water for me, because I've yet to be pointed at something of interest on G+ that I wouldn't find elsewhere.
Not saying that my particular scenario reflects everyone else's, but it does seem to work for me and my friends, most of whom have GMail accounts as their primary mail address.
If success is defined in terms of ad impressions then that won't work with me either. I use an ad blocker.
