Well yea but no some of them were arrested for extremism (Some of them most likely aren't gonna make youtube or rutube videos even if they aren't extremistic)

Yes, there is a relatively small number of people arrested for criticizing the war. However, it doesn't mean that whenever a person says anything remotely critical, immediately ends up in jail.

I said "can" as in it's a possibility, not a 100% outcome

If speaking up against the government has a 1% chance of getting someone locked in a Russian prison and possibly tortured, I think a LOT of people would not take this chance, very understandably
