I hope so. Watching videos is a tiny fraction of per capita energy consumption. It's dwarfed by transportation, HVAC, and of course the energy required to make all the physical stuff we buy and the food we eat.
I can't stand this type of silly fixation on visible but very minor contributors to a problem while simultaneously ignoring the big factors. It's like drinking straw bans in the USA when most ocean plastic comes from fishing vessels, the shipping industry, and direct dumping of trash into the ocean in other countries (this is illegal in the USA and it is enforced).
I think it's a form of bikeshedding as well as a way for politicians to look like they're doing something without tackling the hard stuff.
