Let's speculate, how much money would you guys guess is being lost every minute of downtime?

A metric @!#$ton? :D

A long long time ago, I can still remember how those videos used to make me smile... (Take it)

And I knew if I had my pick, that I could make those people click, and maybe they'd be happy for a while

subscribers want me to deliver another video with facts and figures

Are we going to start a betting pool as to why? I put $20 on DDoS, but I'm hedging $5 that someone spilled their drink on something important and quickly got out of there before anyone noticed.

My bet is rm -f instead of cp -R.

I have never seen Youtube not work. Ever. This is a special moment. Glad you are all here to share it with me :)

I agree, but a special moment because these days there are people like you that never had to see "big" sites crashing or dial-up speeds.

There's a bunch of engineers in some conference room right now probably going "oh shit...." while slowly accepting the impending doom of a late night at work.

I'm imagining millions of kids in restaurants crying out because their "iPads aren't working"

I fear something terrible has happened.

> I put $20 on DDoS I'd take you on that, except I have no anonymized payment account. Otherwise, I'd bet $100 that it's not. Only Google has the scale to DDoS Google.

The DDoS came from inside the Google servers!

Now see, that I'd believe.

Sign of the end times folks.

Frogs, Locust, Hail, and YouTube going down.
