When YouTube comes back up again, I can recommend Tom Scott with "Single Point of Failure: The (Fictional) Day Google Forgot To Check Passwords" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4GB_NDU43Q
I have never seen Youtube not work. Ever. This is a special moment. Glad you are all here to share it with me :)
Google sites are probably the most reliable, I don't think I've ever seen google / gmail / yt going down.
It remained broken (in that way) for quite some time (maybe longer than an hour.) But, happening in 2009, I can't accurately recall.
Here is another scenario when Google Search failed to successfully serve my query [3].
And an early time when YouTube went down [4].

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…
AS? IX? Not everyone knows your insider lingo.
My wife says: "they probably ran out of space on their server"

I think a Google search outage would be a spectacular train wreck. Imagine if Google's search was compromised in such a way as to be has bad as the Sony PSN network hack of ..2011? Imagine not having Google search for several weeks. Bing/DuckDuckGo/Yahoo would struggle just to keep up and people would immediately realize their dependence on the big G.
> I think a Google search outage would be a spectacular train wreck. I'd argue that a youtube outage is worse. If google search is out, you can just use duckduckgo. If you want to watch a video on youtube, you're SOL. This is speaking from experience with blacklisting both google.com and youtube.com in my hosts file. I was doing fine with blacklisting google, but couldn't handle blacklisting youtube. Try it yourself…
First thing I see on their Twitter page are fake verified Youtube accounts perpetuating some Crypto scam: https://i.imgur.com/PkEbjH5.png

I actually thought it was a bit jarring. Mostly because I don't know what personal information it might be collecting and having me send them.
Well, it's information collected at the server side. So if they really wanted they could just store the data and give you a code, but that would require more storage on their end.
Oh no! YouTube needs to store a few kb of text! How will they have enough space?

Ha! My time to shine.. I’ve got somewhere around 80TB of YouTube content on my NAS including thousands of videos that aren’t available anymore on YouTube or anywhere else online. The joy of hoarding data..
On topic - I've also made a habit of downloading any videos/channels that are super interesting but I feel may also be ephemeral. Some of that ephemerality is often due to copyright claims, performances of classical music by amateurs and such.
