I think you meant $280,000?

I'm curious what happens to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video during moments like this.

Interestingly, my youtube-dl archiving script is still chugging along with only a handful of elevated retry rates. So whatever the problem is, it's probably not at the API or CDN layers.

What are you archiving?

Ha! My time to shine.. I’ve got somewhere around 80TB of YouTube content on my NAS including thousands of videos that aren’t available anymore on YouTube or anywhere else online. The joy of hoarding data..

80TB is a lot just to hoard data... I don't think I even like so many vids.

Wow, so i was trying to watch a video on the train at 4:45pm pst and the video was all jacked and loading weird. I gave up and went on to something else... so that must have been an early symptom of the outage.

Do they encrypt the server side error stack trace? 500 Internal Server Error Sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

Thats prob base64 and your IP might be in the decoded string.

Messing around with it for a minute it seems it's a modified base64 (+ and / are replaced by - and _) with a space every 56 characters. I couldn't get any permutation where a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and -_/_- were consistent so it's either encrypted or one of 1,268,869,321,858,841,641,034,33,389,335,161,480,802,865,516,174,545,192,198,801,894,375,214,704,230,400,000,000,000,000 permutations of the encoding alphabet (or I messed up the decoding).

Some analysts predict YouTube to bring in $15 billion in ad revenue in 2018. If so, they are losing around $28,000 for every minute they are down.

Could be more (people stop watching and go outside) or less (people go back later to watch what they would've watched anyway, and free advertising for everyone talking about it) depending on several things.
