YouTube is Down

Posted by msmash on from the outage-reports dept.

YouTube is facing outage worldwide, users and web tracker DownDetector reported Tuesday evening. Users attempting to visit the site have reported seeing a blank website frame instead of the usual homepage. The YouTube app also showed the same problems. In a tweet, YouTube said it was working on resolving the issues on YouTube, YouTube TV, and YouTube Music.

Update: The issue has been resolved.

    And the response is to have every /. user go to YouTube to see if it is really down.

    (It is.)

    I think the most shocking part of this is that we're seeing a Slashdot article about it now instead of two days later.

    I kid, but it's probably because the editors couldn't watch their cat videos and had to do something productive for a change.

    YouTube goes down, and a few hours later it's reported "US is World's Most Competitive Economy for First Time in a Decade". Coincidence?
