Rutube becomes popular in Russia since YouTube started blocking some accounts from Russia.

Recently implemented way to retrieve list of videos from channel and playlist RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge#2661

My 2 cents on why it's not a good idea:

Rutube is a part of Gazprom Media – a media holding owned by Gazprom (>50% of shares belong to the Russian state). Of course, it's highly connected with the Russian government.
It also owns the NTV channel which is one of the most popular channels in Russia that produces propaganda and supports the Ukraine invasion.

The current Gazprom Media CEO Alexandr Zharov was a head of Roskomnadzor in 2012-2020.
He is the one, who created the censorship machine in Russia. Alexandr Zharov is on the sanctions list as a Russian official responsible for the war.
Currently in Russia:

• banned all independent Russian media
• banned all foreign media that write in Russian
• banned Twitter
• banned Facebook
• banned Instagram

RKN also tests youtube ban from time to time, but they are not yet ready (technically or politically) to do it.
That's why helping them and giving one more reason to ban YouTube is a bad idea.

First of all, this is not the place for politics. But now that you're talking about it, tell us about Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Are you sure they have no ties to the U.S. government?

So let's leave politics to the politicians and get down to more useful things for the people =)
