YouTube Is Down

[gilbetron]

I'm already, seriously, looking forward to the post-mortem. It kind of sucks when things break, but it is also really interesting to hear the gritty details. Hopefully they don't disappoint? Odds that is AI related?

[neo_doom]

Same here... Having been on both sides of it, I much rather prefer reading about a post-mortem than writing one

[upmind]

Same, I don't think I've ever noticed YouTube being down. (I'm sure it's been down in the past 10 years, I just haven't noticed it)

[andrewinardeer]

You think they'll release a post mortem publically?

[heelix]

Man... updated mozilla,toyed with my ad blocker, now updating the os. Never crossed my mind this was a 'them' problem.

You can search and watch videos directly with no issue, but main feed and suggestions on the side of videos are not appearing.

Really goes to show how much I depend on the algorithmic recommendations, I have no idea what to watch having to search manually. Usually my feed always has something that piques my interest.

edit: back up

[KORraN]

If you are subscribed to channels, I really recommend using Subscriptions instead of home page. Otherwise, you may miss videos from your favorite creators just because YT decided so.

[kingstnap]

Search on YouTube has been broken for at least 4 to 5 years.

Some time back it used to find stuff. Now its just recommends shorts.

This is certificate issuance being down?

[jayknight]

I'm currently sitting next to my son who is watching a Mark Rober video on youtube.

But yeah, neither the web site or the app are loading anything right now. But I guess a stream in progress in unaffected.

[Freedom2]

Interesting. I wonder what LeetCode hard they'll use to investigate and fix this issue.

[therobots927]

I’m sure Claude will have it up and running in just a few minutes. No big deal.

[nayuki]

I mistakenly thought that YouTube hit a compatibility problem with my Firefox browser. The only breakage I could see was that the right sidebar of related/recommended videos disappeared. But I was watching several videos consecutively just fine. (I obtained video links from recent bookmarks, plus manually queued URLs of next videos to watch.)

[ls612]

I’ve been forcibly signed out from my Google account across all devices I think this may be their auth that went down.

[sharkytowers]

I think it is an authorization issue? Thought it might be on my end... glad to have found this.

[seatac76]

Interesting outage, I can play videos added to my playlists, but homepage is empty.

[Vaslo]

I’m able to reach videos via my history but not getting anything on the front page.

[userbinator]

Videos are streaming but the quality seems to be low; on a few videos I checked, format 136 which is supposed to be 1080p is currently actually only 360p. Possibly a bandwidth problem.

[AlienRobot]

The home feed of the website doesn't seem to be working for me, but individual channel pages are working, and videos are loading.

[d342]

yeah same for me. just home page. they have a very big server driven UI response for a 5xx something went wrong try again page.

[mbilker]

I concur. I can reach channel pages from my channel list on the home page even with the recommended videos not loading.

What happens if downdetector goes down? Who watches the watcher?

FCC is really trying hard to stop that Talarico video.

[ismailmaj]

Cannot trust those damn Americans during on call.

[dpbriggs]

Directly navigating to a channel works fine.

[sva_]

Or subscription feed https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions

[pgrote]

It appears to only be related to the front page. Other pages load fine going directly to the URL.

[tmcz26]

Well that’s one way to go to bed on time :)

[bilekas]

I can't sleep without something playing in the background.. Curse this habbit.

[bombcar]

The fattest of Tuesdays.

[proc0]

Watch this be a bug added by some AI agent.

[chriscrisby]

Now I have nothing

[ge96]

It is funny when your internet goes down (panic!)

[arnorhs]

the upside this is a great opportunity to do an early bed time
