Has anyone seen YouTube go down tonight? It looks like servers started shutting down left and right and now the entire site is down.

A few proxies were still going until reddit's started crapping out but it looks like Norse isn't connecting to show its honeypot heatmap of DDOS attacks, neither is isitdownrightnow.com and a few others are getting serious hugs. Funny to see the domino effect go in when a major platform stops performing.

Apparently it's been down for about 40 minutes. At least that's when the reports of it being down started coming in. Someone at Google fucked up, regardless of how the outage happened.

Here's a bit of Twitter mayhem about it. This'll definitely make the news.

Yep, just came back up.

It made some news: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/new ... d=12144023

You can lock it now. Would have been funnier if lasted longer.

I was at work when it happened. Me and a co-worker threatened to walk out. Obviously joking but we didn't really want to work under those conditions.

I happened to have this problem as well. Glad it's back to normal now, though.

Can't wait to tell them how I survived this and The Great Metal-Archives crash in the same month. It's been a whirlwind folks.

hmmm...Youtube appears to be down again, right now as we speak. The 'search' works but you can't actually watch anything. (i.e. videos wont load or play.) Hope this is pretty short lived. I'm going through youtube withdrawls ,arrrgh!

It was almost as bad as when Sriracha ran out.
