Could we just get YouTube to stop working…everywhere?
- No way, then I'd have to actually pay people to fix stuff.
  
  Now if shorts stopped working, id be good with that.
  
  You might be, but the vast majority of the population would not like it.
  
  Sure one could argue that the content is addictive and they shouldn't want to view that stuff, but that's a separate issue.
  
  eh, there have been some education shorts I've seen that got me to subscribe to their YouTube channel.
  
  I just want to have the ability to control the algorithm on my account so my recommendations don't get clogged with low quality, spammy, rage bait videos
- I feel like we'd need a scientific research project to figure out how to replace youtube with something that won't enshitifiy.
  
  We could try splitting it into three sites - funny, stupid, and trashy.
Oh no. How will they know how to do things now without Indian guys to explain?
- vk
I don't want to lose access to bootleg movies on ok.ru
- no clue what that is but will always be sailing the seven seas.
  
  It is like Russian facebook but without any need to respond to or honor any US/EU copyright treaties while under sanctions
Get ready for the new hot site in Russia, HighWindow, showcasing "accidental" deaths as you've never seen them before!
- people always joke about this but defenestration has never been that common in neither the Russian Empire, USSR nor Russian Federation
