I have tested the status of youtube to confirm if it is still down and it is T.T

Well I was trying to load a video on YouTube a second ago and searched worked but the video said "error tap to retry". I opened HN to verify my internet and saw this. So it's broken for some of us ;)

Interestingly, my youtube-dl archiving script is still chugging along with only a handful of elevated retry rates. So whatever the problem is, it's probably not at the API or CDN layers.

isn't it also strange that the shadow of their ui components are still loading?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

"And why were you not offline?" (continuing song lyrics i think we're making)

We should set it to "American Pie" and make sure to start off mentioning how we were all still mourning the loss of Paul Allen when this happened.

Woah. This thread just hit me in a - ridiculously - profound way.

The day the Internet died.

Youtube-dl is also not working surprisingly. It's crazy how I still assumed it was my network and not youtube. Speaks to how much I depend and rely on youtube being available as a staple in my life. For me the error just says webpage is unavailable. I am in NJ so east coast has a large outage probably.

Devastating for streamers. Google must compensate

Sure, Google should give all streamers a 500% refund on their YouTube fees, which comes to, let me see, zero dollars.

Medium sized regional AS here: I am looking at a fairly large drop in IX traffic charts for our ports that face the IX, updated every 60s, which directly corresponds in time with the beginning of the Youtube outage. (We are not big enough to have a direct, dedicated peering session with the Google/Youtube AS). At any given time of day 4pm-11pm a huge percent of our traffic is Youtube (or netflix, or amazon video, or…

Is any of this info publicly available anywhere?

IX charts are public in Chile by law. Everything looks well except the Telefonica (TIWS) international trunk [1]. It started dropping all traffic at the same time.
