It used to be the platform that did one thing good. Build communities. Not it does a lot of things, but all of them badly.
Not to mention that their owners are the main reason why "YouTube works bad, because Google's servers are degrading". Basically, Roscomnadzor (an official government censorship service) has been making YouTube unusable for over a year now to make people switch to VK Video or Rutube (both owned by same entity) whilst pretending that it doesn't. Did it work? According to them, yes. According to reality, however, the vast majority just switched to using VPN.
I can imagine russian authorities saying "See American technology sucks! We have better technology!" while being completely lie.
