    This is the first time since 2007 that /. suprised me with pertinent and relevant information. I was attempting to watch an old music video on my phone and assumed youtube was all black for some new type of google ban.

    He homepage works, but no content loads. Im not going to troubleshoot further for them.

    Can't wait to hear the excuse as to why everything is broken.

    Amusing thought but unlikely. That's equivalent to each human on Earth having posted about 1.5 billion videos to YouTube. If the average age of video poster on Youtube is 27 then that's nearly two videos for every second that person has been alive.
