Would be nice to also block Russians from Youtube so the comments can revert to normal again instead of being infested with armies of trolls... dreaming

The US is banning TikTok.
im not american what do I care
Good I hate youtube, please ban it in Europe and the US next. Maybe more people will switch to peertube. Actually just ban the whole Google data-mining repertoire.
I'm old enough to remember trying to use books to repair things which was especially tough when you couldn't find the book for the actual thing itself. Maybe you could go to the library and find something close, but not the actual thing you were fixing half the time. It is worlds easier now to type the exact name of the thing I want to fix into YouTube and find multiple videos on troubleshooting and repairing that specific device.
There is almost so much free educational content on youtube including the amazing Crash Course series educating people essentially for free. I am learning a 5th language right now and got a lot of the initial basics covered for free there and have basically endless free content to work with there.
Most people have no idea what a 'peertube' even is and have zero incentive to switch to it even if they find out.

And peertube could be even better if people used it

Yes, it's a hard sell, so I suggest users upload their videos to both peertube and youtube, and promote peertube on their channels and provide incentives like early uploads to help popularize the platform, so it can be better than youtube some day.
so no more russian bots? jk they will just use vpns
