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.

A lot of different sites are down right now. I wonder what's going on.

GCS issues maybe?

GCP [1] and G Suite [2] appear to be green.

[2] - https://www.google.com/appsstatus

what are some others?

Ironically, outage.report, a website for reporting downed web services is also down. So signs point to it not just being youtube, a number of websites seem to be having issues. May be a provider is down?

Maybe outage.report is down because so many people are hitting it after YouTube going down...

Do they encrypt the server side error stack trace?

500 Internal Server Error Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

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…

Is any of this info publicly available anywhere?

there are a number of IXes that publish aggregate traffic charts, updated reasonably frequently, a lot fewer that publish traffic charts for individual ports or peers. If you want granular data you have to know somebody who runs the core BGP stuff for a reasonably sized ISP, and you can ask them for redacted copies of charts.
