The decrease in traffic will not affect mobile users, Khinshtein said, adding that making YouTube run slower was "a forced step not directed at Russian users" but at YouTube management "which believes that it can violate and ignore [Russian] legislation".
"The fate of YouTube in Russia depends solely on YouTube itself," Khinstein said, before warning the company that unless it began complying with Russian law, "nothing good awaits it here".

Russians have an almost unlimited capacity for suffering. It's pretty unreal how cucked their entire culture is.

They suffer by living in Russia. But if they actually complain about it... then they're being disloyal and get fricked over and over and over again.

This is likely just the first step to soften the blow for instituting a full on ban.

Why?

At first they lied that it's a technical issue, but now they say that it's a punishment for "not complying with Russian law".
The real reason is most likely that they want to make it annoying to use, because it's less dramatic than outright blocking it. Less savvy users will think that YouTube is just broken and won't even consider using a VPN to work around the problem.

This clown is a sarcastic, disingenuous individual, don't even waste your time responding to him. He's not courageous or intelligent enough to debate issues and theories in an honest, straightforward way, so he (?) hides behind his defense mechanisms… in this case, playing a sarcastic, incoherent punk/rebel who makes no sense (because he's not trying to). Seems he's trying to draw attention to himself, and discredit facts and opinions he doesn't like by belittling them, as opposed to refuting them or making rational counter-arguments like us adult folks. He reminds me of an annoying, 15 year-old little shit desperate for attention, but lacking the wisdom or life experience to say anything intelligent enough to actually contribute to the conversation, or be useful to anyone. Don't waste your time!! Hope that helps. 🙂
