Cant Russians make money from yt due to that Ukraine thing
Thought it has already banned? Thought they had the same view as Chinese government to limited information so they can better brainwash people in Russia with propaganda.
Good.
Because fuck ‘em, that’s why!
Why has it been accessible to begin with? $$$
There hasn’t been any monetization since shortly after the invasion started. If I have to guess, Google was just footing the bills so they don’t lose presence to some local player when it’s all over.
I’m actually more curious as to who finally pulled the plug, Google, or the Russian government; and why finally now. Article made it seem like the Russian govt wanted to violate net neutrality and slow down YT’s traffic, but makes no mentioning of which party ultimately took the service down.
this is terrible news for right wing reactionary youtube channels.
Putin’s fight against reality continues. Who will be the victor?
Putin is reality.
Putin, of course!
While I understand people’s initial reaction to think this is a positive thing, I don’t believe it is. The less free speech and media the Russian people have access to, the more control Putins propaganda machine has.
Is this a new development? If so could it be due to the Ukrainian incursion? I thought telegram was more popular there for that stuff
Yeah… I suspect it has something to do with controlling info on Ukraine pushing back perhaps.
I have a slightly different take: I think it’s a positive thing because the sooner we destroy YouTube, the sooner YouTube will be destroyed.
Feels like your priorities might be out of order.
My priorities are thus:
- Destroy YouTube
- Everything else
They know what they did.
What did they do?
Oh, they know.
“YouTube delenda est”
“Fiat justitia, ruat YouTube”
That’s what you get. Ukraine doesn’t have access to YouTube either thanks to the rolling blackouts. So… I guess cry more? Or if you’re Russian and reading this, and you want change for your country: realize you are many, they are few, and the few they have aren’t currently as strong as they were before your country illegally invaded Ukraine. It won’t be easy but maybe you and your brethren can secure a safer future for your children, those children, and all the children you will never meet, by rising up against your oppressors

It’s just so strange to read how Americans blame Putin for everything the rest of the world blames their government for.
Obvious Russian troll is obvious.
Come on you can do better than this. You’r not even being entertainingly bad.
You need to improve or else you will fall out of a window.
Sure, champion, your attention saved my life today. Let me get back to my trolling, spying, forced and commie stuff.
I’m going to miss the one Russian I follow. Maybe this will help another alternative platform take its place.
Is this the Russian Government censoring them, or is YouTube just pulling out because the sanctions mean they can’t run ads to Russian IPs?
the biggest ISP in Russia, rostelecom, started throttling youtube by 80% last month and is planning a full blocking. It’s a curious choice though… even the hardest most Z people are not happy about it.
Let’s hope this will lead to Putin’s support evaporating.
It is a double-edged sword, because it would leave them blind to certain news without propaganda. Which could have direct and indirect consequences.
China is doing pretty okay with it.
China has ten times more people than Russia, they have a big enough market to support a full fledged alternative. Russia does not
there is a browser extension that loads websites without middleman interference, a lot of people are using that. apparently it even unblocks twitter and some other sites.
Russian here. Yes, this is indeed true. They’ve been throttling the bandwidth for a good while before, even yt music was slow. GoodbyeDPI lets you bypass the blocks for now. Idk what to expect next tbh
I mean you could still use frontends out there but don’t you all start using them at once. I use them too you know.
Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty is straight up State department propaganda.
I’m sure everything Russia China and NK do WRONG is just *propaganda, too.
Isn’t that right .ml user?
