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.
> YouTube ads generated $15.15 billion in revenue in fiscal year 2019.
So plugged into wolfram alpha:

They lose about $480 per second or $1.7MM per hour. Yikes.
Seems like just the video player is down - homepage loads with thumbnails, and when you click on a video, everything but the video player renders. What I find interesting is that scrolling through a video still displays closed captions and even the thumbnail preview of the timestamp you're hovering over. Curious if anyone know what causes something like this?
videos however come from redirector.googlevideo.com/videoplayback

Maybe for other types of service yes, I find difficult to plug a alternative to YouTube, other type of streaming services maybe? Netlfix etc
