Hmm why youtube does not work but google.com does.

Now I'm wondering if you rely on OCSP in a TLS client and the pki is Google does it still works?

OCSP is deprecated and basically dead at this point. Some clients still use it but I don't think many (any?) have actually enforced OCSP for years since it was notoriously fickle anyways.

Interesting. If you go to youtube.com it's all messed up; missing all the videos in the listings. But if you follow a video embedded in another site to youtube, it'll show and play fine. It'll break if you try to browse away from it.

Yeah, YouTube is not one server, it's hundreds of them. The videos are served mostly from CDNs (the Content Distribution Network). It's a different set of servers than handles account logins, routing, etc.

Some Google Services are also down at the moment, unrelated to YouTube, so probably a failure along some common infrastructure pipeline.

Your History, Subscriptions and search should all work. You should be able to see any creator's page if you go to it directly. The videos are all still watchable. It's primarily the home page and recommended videos that are having issues. Basically any place they recommend videos you haven't seen is broken right now, but the videos are still there and accessible.

I've tried via VPN from the U.S., U.K., Sweden, Germany, Russia, Colombia, etc. Same issue across the board.
