YouTube remains in Russia to be an independent news source: CEO. But despite the initial threats, other listed web services remain operational and available, such as YouTube, Wikipedia, Telegram and Zoom. Users encountered difficulties in using Google services on Saturday, August 12. According to the DownRadar service, problems were recorded in various parts of the country, with complaints from Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kazan being especially frequent. Video hosting YouTube, owned by Google, was not affected so badly. There are far fewer complaints about its availability, according to DownRadar. According to the results of the first half of the year, the income of the top 10 Russian bloggers from advertising integrations on YouTube increased by an average of 19%, to 483 million rubles was calculated by the Association of Bloggers and agencies (ABA).
