    I am reading one of my facebook new groups, and people from all over have starting reporting in that youtube is down. It is not just here in the US, but places like Mexico, Canada, and more reporting in every minute !
    Bobby and I both checked ours, and it is definitely crashed. Wonder what is going on ?
    Anybody have youtube tonight ?

    It looks like it's back up. Here at least. Then again, I can see that Youtube embeds aren't working, although I can reach the site.

    I just clocked on it a minute ago after readin hear that it was down. I just clicked onto one of Willie Nelson's farm aid videos, then clicked on an old movie. No problems.

    Apparently, it was not a long time that it was down, less than an hour, for sure, and the map that I looked at looked like there were areas where it was worse than other areas, and (from what I was reading) China was not affected at all.
    I was on Facebook, reading through my news/Q-anon groups there, and suddenly, everyone was asking about youtube on all of the groups, and reporting in where they were located.
    Maybe by this morning, there will be some information about what caused the outage.

    The CEO of YouTube did appologize for the break in service but didn’t elaborate as to why it happened.
    There is some talk of some ISPs (internet service provider) intentionally overloading the servers but it’s just net chatter thus far.
