Earlier quoted context omitted.

I am playing a YouTube video (since the time of this comment) and it has not been interrupted.

You can still see your subscription videos, just not the homepage.

I'm able to play videos that are bookmarked in my browser, but the YouTube home page errors out.

Hmm why youtube does not work but google.com does. Now I'm wondering if you rely on OCSP in a TLS client and the pki is Google does it still works?

Interesting. If you go to youtube.com it's all messed up; missing all the videos in the listings. But if you follow a video embedded in another site to youtube, it'll show and play fine. It'll break if you try to browse away from it.

Yeah, YouTube is not one server, it's hundreds of them. The videos are served mostly from CDNs (the Content Distribution Network). It's a different set of servers than handles account logins, routing, etc.

Some Google Services are also down at the moment, unrelated to YouTube, so probably a failure along some common infrastructure pipeline.

Your History, Subscriptions and search should all work. You should be able to see any creator's page if you go to it directly. The videos are all still watchable. It's primarily the home page and recommended videos that are having issues. Basically any place they recommend videos you haven't seen is broken right now, but the videos are still there and accessible.

I've tried via VPN from the U.S., U.K., Sweden, Germany, Russia, Colombia, etc. Same issue across the board.

It's a good thing we have ever-shrinking certificate lifetimes and automation never breaks. That's what I've been told, anyway.

Yeah, this could end up as the actual root cause of The Great Oops that I've been raving about for years. And Google probably would be the right company to fuck it up in the worst way possible since Google Knows Best In All Situations.

I can't wait for the Great Oops.

Please tell me more about The Great Oops

I don't subscribe to your newsletter. What about the Oops?

Ah, so that’s probably why YouTube is also down (at the time of this comment)

I am too. But I just loaded up a new youtube page and it's completely white except for a few menu buttons.
