YouTube Is Down

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-it's-2012-already dept.

A number of readers have noted that YouTube is currently giving back 400 and 502 http errors, and has apparently been doing so for an hour or more. I suggest you use this window of opportunity to get something done: the dancing kitties will still be there when you're done.

    Yeah, working here from the midwest. Taco knows how the internet works. Why, exactly, do we have a "major site is down" story with no links? A major data center or backbone going down might be news. What we seem to have here is an unconfirmed and unsubstantiated anecdotal evidence that someone, somewhere on the internet might have lost access to youtube?

    I think more coffee is required to process this story.

    YouTube, Slashdotted? I doubt Slashdot traffic creates a peak significant enough to be noticed on YouTube's traffic charts. Even if there was a link to an HD video in the submitted story.
