I have a 2-hour-long YouTube video still open, it's continuing to load as I continue to watch it without issues, but new videos aren't working. That's an interesting clue: the CDN isn't down as some people are implying. Edit 45 min later: Everything appears to be working again, including YouTube TV.

Let's see if you make it to the end. I usually have quite a bit of a video downloaded after a few minutes, to the point where I can unplug my network and still watch for a few minutes.

I am watching the network tab continually request from https://r3---sn-n4v7sney.googlevideo.com/videoplayback and succeed each time. There is hardly any buffer, it's all loading successfully in real time.

Does anyone want to try to calculate how much money google is losing every second YouTube is down? It must be astronomical, on the order of Amazon.

Amazon's revenue is ~10k/second. Based on a recent 15B/year YouTube revenue figure I found, that would mean ~$500/second.

That's "peanuts" then, a couple of millions for `~1h down.

BitChute is down also.

Unless BitChute is hosted in Google Cloud and this is just a Google Cloud problem, I have a feeling something major is being censored.

Downdetector also shows increased error rates for Search, Play, Facebook, Netflix, Twitter, Spotify, Twitch… What’s going on?

More users / higher loads due to people being stuck inside? edit: I assumed you meant more in general over the past weeks or months, not right now - if that's the case. But those are indeed some interesting patterns, that so many websites are getting the same spikes.

That can't be it. These issues are all coinciding and if you look at the graphs they all started at the same time. This points to a lower level networking issue somewhere.

I noticed that the mobile UI was updated today. I'm guessing that it's a botched rollout of some bigger changes

Many other services (Google Play, Twitter, …) are affected as well although not as much as YouTube.

Can confirm. I have a video which was already open and still plays. Interestingly I closed the tab and opened that video again and it still worked. I'm in Sydney

I think it's just because Downdetector is getting tons of traffic which makes it think people are having more issues than usual with virtually everything. I haven't heard any actual people say Spotify, Twitter, or Twitch are down.
