New Boston Dynamics dancing robot video launched today is probably to blame. :) (and if you haven't seen it now you have something to look forward to when Youtube comes back)

Ghost of the dancing baby.

That would not cause a global outage. YouTube has caches in all the major ISPs.

maybe nsa was installing a whole bunch of wire taps?

With the help of aliens since they have a better vantage point of where all the cables are... because, you know, the Earth is fla-... nope. Can't do it. I can't go that far. I can only say "so much" stupid. That's too far.

I wonder if there's any link to the Brazilian elections, the candidates are using YouTube heavily and it's prime time there.

Bolsonaro has not taken over the world ... yet. 17

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. [1] http://pit.grupogtd.com/default.php?id=1

Que bacan weon! Estoy en viña ahorita. Sabes por que Movistar es muy lento com LTE aca?

Are you on prepaid? Virtually all Chilean prepaid carriers are deathly slow, especially outside of Santiago. I had barely any service in Algarrobo on Claro, but postpaid plans ran just fine, especially Claro, even in crazy places like Farellones :)

For what it's worth, I hated every second of my life in vina and that stupid town to the north of it and also Valparaiso. God, bring me back to La Parva or Embalse El Yeso. Some of the most incredible, untouched mystical land there!

Let's make sure to make this the next stanza ;)

Where were you when YouTube died? On HN, of course. Putting off dealing with my divorce. And wishing Paul Allen were still alive.

I think it goes more like

Where were you when YouTube died

On HN of course

and why were you not offline

putting off dealing with my divorce

I wish paul allen was still alive

..?

(has more of a feel to it, alternating rhymes.)

Fortunately, I still get to see a banner advertising their streaming music service, or to watch the World Series through Youtube.

Nice to see their ad-service platform isn't impacted. /s

I wonder if this is a Vitess issue. It’s pretty unusual if so.
