I feel like Google is having more outages recently. I worked there for 4 years and even in such a short time you really noticed the shift from engineering focus to business focus. But maybe it is just a coincidence.

youtube greece is down returns "oops" error but i can still playback a 2 hour video that I was already watching before it went down. Trying to open any other video or channel returns this error.

It is all green if you do not need to be logged in . If you are logged in, the page crashes with an error. You can still browse all services from Incognito (which for some is not an option).

Try YouTube, which is totally broken. But I guess it's technically not part of /appsstatus

youtube is working in incognito mode

Just checked https://www.google.com/appsstatus all green, which does not reflect reality for me (e.g. Gmail is down) edit: shows how incredibly difficult introspection is

Out of curiosity, what response time do you expect on a page like that? And what level of detail? I'd much rather have their team focus on fixing this as fast as possible than trying to update that dashboard in the first 5 minutes.

There should be enough people on that to communicate out as well as resolve.

What do you think, how much money are they losing right now every second?

I was thinking the same thing. Also this funny bit that’s relevant: https://entertainment.theonion.com/google-shuts-down-gmail-f... “Google Shuts Down Gmail For Two Hours To Show Its Immense Power”

YT seems to be working in Incognito / Private mode.
