YouTube began introducing technical restrictions on video downloads after they began to be transferred en masse to Russian platforms, Runet reports.
In particular, due to mass video downloading, YouTube has limited the ability to download high-quality videos. These restrictions also affect regular YouTube video download services that are not connected to competing services (Savefrom, 320ytmp3 and Presaver).
Rutube’s Big Cons After YouTube. How Do People Use It?
The support service for “Platforma” (another YouTube analogue) confirmed the existence of the problem.
Yes, there are problems primarily with YouTube, they ban us for mass downloading of videos, because of this import only grows.
Platforma
Rutube did not comment on the news. VK Video sent a message that the problem was unknown, since the VK Transfer tool for transferring videos was created by an external company.
We are not the ones developing the application, so unfortunately we cannot answer. They simply posted it on our service and actively use it.
