[ipv6-wg] Users turning off IPv6 because of YouTube

Content OK from UK.
Think you need to contact YouTube regarding their geo-ip database entry, assuming they have their own database

Subject: [ipv6-wg] Users turning off IPv6 because of YouTube

Hello list,

I've came across a new reason people are turning off IPv6 on their
computers. Looks like GeoIP restrictions of YouTube are somehow broken
making some videos playable over IPv4 but 'not accessible from your
country' over IPv6.

For example this music video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44XYEeD1A1U
is perfectly playable from addresses:
147.32.0.0/16 and 195.113.0.0/16
but not playable from 2001:718::/32

The network is deployed as native dualstack and both address families
are correctly registered in the RIPE database to Prague.

I guess there's probably nothing we can do from the network operator's
point of view. Anyone experiencing the same?

Cheers,
Ondřej Caletka
