doing a `curl -v https://redirector.googlevideo.com ` (the host you'll connect to before getting redirected to the actual mp4/m4a streams) opens a tls connection (and gives a cert), but it then hangs for two minutes, before returning a 502. i'd wager some database storing info about the streams crashed :^D (given that it also crashes on /, it's more likely something else)

Turns out Youtube-DL was being used by YouTube also. ;)

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.

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

Downdetector seems like a great place to advertise. You have a bunch of people who were forced to abandon the provider of whatever type of service that your company may offer. What a great opportunity to show customers your competing product.

At least one vlogger I follow posts duplicate content on Bitchute (which is up).
