Too bad, the popup for youtube premium still works.

.. and I just managed to get the YouTube app on Android to play an ad. That's two for two of the annoying things that are still (sorta) working. ;)

Plus, the comments are still there!

This will be interesting and humbling for 'resilient services' advocates.. Nodes can be down but services will not go down.. I'd want to know what caused this. I'm guessing they're running on kubernetes, but it too early to tell what actually must have failed.. clearly there are points of failure and not sufficient backups to that point of failure..

I'd be surprised. I don't think kubernetes is the main platform google uses to deploy their stuff.

Recalling mr.Stallman. This is a good reminder about what can happen with all of your online projects/ data/disk storage/letters/photos/notes once it stops working ...I never stored things online.

I would hope most content creators aren't using Youtube as a primary storage medium. It's not as if the site forces them to delete their original copy after uploading, after all.

The problem is that most of my subscribed channels are not in Vimeo, so I lose a lot of meaningful content

I wonder why syndication is not more of a thing. Surely there must be a simple tool to upload your video to multiple platforms at once?

Would you risk losing ad revenue if you posted to content providers who pay less?

(I have no idea whether YT revenue is meaningful for smaller players, to be clear; I suspect not, but I also suspect it's worse elsewhere.)

I thought that using kubernetes would have solved these issues of high availability no?

seems like these web services always have to go own eventually.

If you're Windows user maybe try lightweight option like foobar2000?

or WinAmp?

Is WinAmp still alive? I last used it a couple of decades ago!
