Yes, nation-wide block of YouTube could work

Right now the only change is that google disabled YouTube ads for russian users. Which would make me more eager to sit home and numb my mind with videos

Blocking Youtube is an awful idea. It is one of the sources where Russians can get information not from propaganda. If you block Youtube, they will have to turn to government-controlled sites like Vk or RuTube.
I believe Russian authorities have blocked Facebook, Twitter, Youtube
Only Facebook and Twitter for now.
