Russia is not some brand pushing toothpaste or cola. It's a hostile oligarchy and currently under embargo. My comment didn't actually claim there was a conviction, but given the text of the indictment, there will be. Youtube knows this will end with Chen and Donavan in jail (unless they flee to Russia) and it's a bad look to continue hosting their content. There's plenty of other wingnut vloggers waiting in the wings; Youtube won't lose viewership.
