I’m really hoping now that they have an official app. It will help the growth some. You can tell it’s very early days for it, but I think it has a lot of potential.

Which peertube client do you recommend (android and iOS)?
Peertube in it’s current form is not a replacement for anyone other than tech nerds and it’s not gonna change unless some real changes are made to how the platform fundamentally operates.
The federation is currently opt in so the videos you see are largely dependant on which instance you choose. They made this choice because of the obvious problem – storage cost.
You’re stuck hopping between instances because the content is really fragmented.
I don’t think that there are currently ways to stream other instances’ content if the content is not mirrored onto the instance that you’re on.
No way to search through the whole fediverse for content on many instances, but it is available on some, like fair.tube.
This is just my opinion so correct me if you think I’m wrong. Many of these problems have plagued the site for a while.

Just goes to show that russians have had (until recently) relatively easy access to independent information within a few clicks on their smartphones.
I will also note that many reliable news organizations (BBC, DW) started their russian language YT news programs as far back as 2010. This is also true for well regarded local independent news (TV Dozdh).

How did they measure it? People can still use VPN
80% of people watching YouTube in Russia are now using a VPN.
That would be my guess.
Using VPN would mean that IPs would not longer be from Russian IPs, therefore, Russian IPs accessing Youtube would drop.
Lol if only they’d ban YouTube here, then we wouldn’t have to deal with wannabe influencers
YouTube is the best thing that happened to the working class. Access to human knowledge
But yes many ended watching Ben Shapiro or some other bootlicker
Wish granted, you now have television influencer Fucker Fuckersen
Be above the Influence.
Ah yes, no influencers at all on Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, LinkedIn, Friendster… Just youtube.
You’re right; we should ban all those garbage sites too
RIP Russian gun YouTubers.
Youtube needs to die.
Peertube is the future.
Peertube has surged to 52.2k mau!

How will they know what influencers to follow?
I know a Russian who’s just using a VPN now.
I’m sure there’s still a lot of Russian traffic that is now shifted to other countries.
