Youtube is Down Worldwide

[Jspur]

I tried watching some videos on YouTube but they wouldn't load. At first I thought maybe it was my computer but after googling some articles have come up stating that YouTube has crashed all over the world. I wonder if the Russians took it down.

[ret5hd]

1. So Russia just increased world productivity by 23%?

[Jspur]

15. They have also

increased world misery by 23 percent. Fuck them if they did this. I like to unwind and listen to random music videos at the end of the day along with watching random stuff.

[ret5hd]

31. Man, you took my little throw-away joke real personal!

You ok?

[Jspur]

53. No I didn't take

it personal. I was being sarcastic. I'm a very sarcastic person but it's hard to illustrate it online.

[brettdale]

19. hahaha

Michael scott will have to get back to work.

[jcgoldie]

2. Nope

Been listening to a live foo fighters show off youtube while I BBQ'd the past hour. Never went down for me.

[Jspur]

7. That's odd

your youtube stream is still working. It's even on their twitter page that it's down. Her is the link

21. Well

I was going to post the link I'm watching to see if it worked for you, but it came up internal server error like this:

Maybe I can still see it because it was already loaded up before the crash no clue. I live in the stix so must connect through hughesnet satellite.

[IluvPitties]

3. Yep, but it is kind of working.

It went down for me for about 10 minutes, and it's partially back up.

[dhol82]

4. What would be the point?

[tenderfoot]

5. it is down

eom

[avebury]

6. It is down for me. nt

[dewsgirl]

8. For the last 20 minutes I have been doing everything I

Could think of, I hadn't thought of this. Oh no!!

[JackInGreen]

9. Down over here

And seeing similar headlines

[BigmanPigman]

10. Me too.

[uponit7771]

11. This is a big deal, worked at one of the big engines... this doesn't happen

[KT2000]

12. Thanks for posting this

Figured it must be my computer so this is a relief.

[FSogol]

13. Will millennials go thru withdrawal symptoms?

[Jspur]

18. As one of the older

millennials I'm going through the symptoms right now. Youtube is like my own personal drug lol.

[JHan]

50. it's a tragedy.

is this what it was like when phones had cords?

the humanity of it all.

[GemDigger]

20. OMG! I dunno but this old lady watches Pluto and Saturn and Volcanoes to go to sleep at night.

I will be grouchy.

[Sanity Claws]

28. Links?

They sound like interesting videos.

[GemDigger]

59. I just had a bunch of links ready to go and POOF hit the close button on the wrong tab....

I will just give you the general gist of what I watch by slapping my search results in (After that last Poof I am getting lazy)

:p

[Polybius]

49. Not sure, but this Gen Xer will

[Glimmer of Hope]

14. Thanks for the post. I was watching Rachel when it stalled and was wondering what was going on.

[Amaryllis]

17. remember summer of 2-26when a lot of really big sites like Amazon and Pay pal went down for ...

if i remember correctly, it was an afternoon. But i thought then that this did not bode well for th eelection. By then even MSM was reporting on Russian infiltration of voter reg databases. Was there ever an explanation for what happened that day?

[Pity Puddles]

22. Thanks. I thought Jeter hated the Miami Marlins home run statue that he had it removed everywhere

But it's just YouToob.

Even the Philly cops said to stop calling..

[Jspur]

26. I can see why Philadelphia residents want

to call the police. Their team the Sixers are getting their ass whooped by the Celtics. Not a fan of either team but I expected a competitive game and it turned out to be a skunker hence why I tried going to youtube. They have must have tried to do the same thing after seeing their team getting blown out.

[roody]

23. It just stopped working for me.

[nolabear]

25. I was watching the debate when it went down.

We managed to get it elsewhere but still can’t bring up YouTube.

[Scurrilous]

27. Is YouTube down? Video sharing website crashes on October 16

If you are unable to watch YouTube videos, you're not the only one, as the site appears to have crashed entirely for users worldwide.

<snip>

"In a very rare occurence, video sharing website has completely gone down, not loading any videos or menus on desktop or mobile versions.

Reports from around the world quickly came in, shared on social media as users complained that they were unable to watch videos on Tuesday evening.

YouTube has not had a major crash of this kind in recent memory, with only small bugs and glitches typically affecting the site's status.

YouTube is on average the 2nd most visited website in the world, and this is the first major crash of the website in years."

29. Youtube is down for me too. Just a white screen. Zip.

[john657]

30. YouTube is working fine for me. n/t

[Jspur]

32. You have to

be one of the lucky few because mine is still not working.

[john657]

33. Been watching Game 7 of the 2002 Angels world series win over the SF Giants. n/t

[eleny]

34. I started watching a video before YT went down and am able to continue

But I can't open a new one.

[john657]

37. Wow, that's wierd.

I just got done watching Game 7 of the 2002 world series and now I just opened Game 6 of the 2002 world series Angels vs SF Giants.

Working fine for me.

[eleny]

40. Looks like it's intermittent

I just went back and could open a few and then a third one wouldn't open. Hit and miss.

It's the black screen message saying there was an error and to try again later.

[john657]

43. I guess I got lucky and opened the vid while YouTube was up for a short period. n/t

[MontanaMama]

35. Down for me.

Bigly.

[LenaBaby61]

36. Youtube is Down Worldwide.

It's back up as of 7:24 PST TIME.

Edit: It just went back down again after being up for 3:00.

🤔

[madville]

38. Probably taken down to prevent people from watching the

Beto-Cruz debate.

[D_Master81]

39. Guess its not my phone

I just did the new ios update and then i was trying to watch a video on youtube and it kept saying error. Thought maybe got screwed up in the update.

57. Thanks for the heads up

[nolabear]

44. Boy, Twitter is going bonkers in more languages than I've ever seen!

[dewsgirl]

54. It's absolutely bonkers over there, I've never seen it that crazed before.

[Dr Vegas]

45. My fault

I asked them why a TRUMP ad was in front of the new Randy Rainbow video, I guess that upset the powers that be

[spanone]

46. IT'S Back Up

[major debacle]

47. Works for me

[Meowmee]

51. No problems here

Seems to be working fine

[Ferrets are Cool]

52. Back up atm. nt

[smirkymonkey]

55. Was just trying to listen to some jazz and couldn't get on.

Hope it comes back up soon. That is the music that I like to go to sleep to.

[ecstatic]

56. Welp. I was considering their TV package.

Nevermind! That's completely unacceptable

[LenaBaby61]

58. Welp. I was considering their TV package.

Same here. Uh, never mind

[AwakeAtLast]

60. So THAT'S why my daughter went to bed early!

[Jspur]

61. Ha Ha

I was considering going to bed early had it not gone up. Youtube is one of my bad vices.
