Yes! This video was what caused me to reconsider my use of Google services seriously.
I was wondering how to react if this happened to me while watching the video. If, like me, you use Google with your email on your own domain (eg. gsuite), you could, in an emergency, change your MX records to something non-google.

> 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.
Hey! Conspiracy time! Maybe it's an inner splinter rogue group within Google that's been secretly hating on a Youtube team and decided to get the ultimate payback for like... not inviting them to a lan party...or something...aliens ate all the cheesey poofs.
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.
YouTube was down for me through my residential ISP (which no doubt has internal caching via GGC) but through VPN was fine.

Sounds like cheating.
I think clients are allowed to send whatever user agent they want - it's essentially a preference for how they would like the website rendered for them. Also I believe it's technically a violation of the HTTP spec to serve different GET requests to different user agents.
If it would be a violation to change things based on user agent, but the purpose of the user agent to specify how you want things changed, then...
if it was purely about different rendering of the exact same content, then wouldn’t it be the browsers responsibility (and thus UA is unecessary)
I have to imagine browsers are allowed to extend the spec, and UAs are either in theory or in practice a way to communicate those extensions; but because site operators were only specifically designating content for the major browser(s), any compliant but unlisted browser would never get that content.. and suddenly everyone was calling themselves netscape

80TB is a lot just to hoard data... I don't think I even like so many vids.
Well.. I’ve got to have a selection for every occasion! But it’s not like I’ve watched every video I have, often I just download entire channels if I deem the content to be worthy for archiving.
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..
Can Netflix handle the extra load? Haha.

Your ISP must not have a cap ... or a very reasonable one.

I bet we'll have tons of makeup channels then, right ?
Not really my thing ;)
