Going directly to a video page works though. Load balancer issues?

Yeah, same as with Amazon.com that one time.

And here is a way to check up on YouTube http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://www.youtube.com/

EDIT: there is also an occasional 503 coming through, so it's probably a load balancer mis-configuration issue. They will be able roll it back in no time.

Do we really need these X is down posts? It's a pity that Youtube is down but it's not going to affect my day enormously and until there are technical details of why it was down it's rather tedious.

It is not always wasteful. Like I learned from one of the comments here that it could be a load balancer issue as other pages seem to be working.

Though I agree such posts are not terribly useful by itself, discussion around it can be interesting and insightful.
