YouTube was down for about 1.5 hours (16 Oct 2018)

[James Newell]

I have just noticed that a large amount of youtube videos are not working. Nothing is coming up when you type in youtube.com
Is this a glitch or the start of the big purge for the deep state?

If you are finding a different result I would like to know what you are viewing.

All of YouTube is down right now, globally (it seems). It's been down for an hour so far. That's a LONG time.

Brief report here: (cause not yet known, or not yet published)

False Flag Cyber attack ?


Any other "media" sites playing up, yet ?

YouTube is back up here in the Carolinas. It was down worldwide (confirmed by real humans) for over an hour. No statement on the reason yet from youtube.

Youtube is also back here in New Jersey. I am being told by others that it was hacked? Very concerning

Front pages are up, but can't launch videos in NYC right now.

Working 100% for me now.

Most popular title for new Youtube videos since it came up: "Youtube is down" .

PlayStation Network was also down for about as long at the same time. Interesting.

Would be neat if "the people" banished youtube, as youtube does to the voices not to its liking.

Maybe it is a small demonstration???

Ive been having trouble, from time to time. longing in to all kind of sites like BBC weather--my Bank--places that are normally easy to access--Site not found, try again message.
Normally the challenge is not long lasting but overall the internet here is slow.

There was also apparently some weirdness on Twitter October 16. Things might be happening. Question is, if there is something going on are we being probed by a foreign power/country, is it the Cabal making preperations for some major false flag, or is it white hats?

YouTube has suffered a massive outage, with users from all across the globe rushing to alternative social media platforms to vent their frustration and seek psychological support from fellow victims of #YouTubeDOWN disaster.

The video-sharing website experienced a service disruption across the northeastern United States, as well as parts of the West and East Coasts. Users in Australia, Mexico, Brazil and the EU have also been affected, according to thousands of reports on the Down Detector monitoring site. YouTube videos began returning errors around 9pm EST. The site infrastructure was still loading for users, but the videos themselves did not play and were replaced by error messages imploring users to "please try again later."

Replying to @TeamYouTube

The company soon acknowledged it had received many "reports of access issues" about YouTube, YouTube TV and YouTube Music. "We're working on resolving this and will let you know once fixed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will keep you updated," it said in a tweet.

However, it took the team of "highly trained monkeys" - as the company lovingly calls their engineers - more than an hour to deal with the situation before users began reporting that the service was reinstated.

Twitter and Facebook erupted with traffic as users tried to figure out what was going on, but no one seems to have solved the mystery yet. Deprived of their ability to watch video clips, people did their best with GIFs.

Meanwhile, some users rushed to 'alternative' video-hosting websites, which seem to have successfully withstood the sudden boost in traffic.

Incidentally, I had an outage yesterday too, while using PA. Just sitting here typing in the phobias thread, and everything went dark. Had to re-do my posting. I was blind for about a minute feeling around for the phone/flashlight. Then the light came back on long enough for me to find my phone, and went out again. No equipment damage tho thankfully

If they turn off the Internet, I'm going to single-handed my track down every last one of them and make them eat my boogers.

Shutting down the web for a week would be the best thing to happen to the western world in decades. No doubt about it.

shutting off electricity, even better.

Western complacency and failure to appreciate modern living would be drastically altered.

As well as self-sufficiency and self reliance levels.

Yes, my city got some outages as well. I was hit twice, but the apartment building's backup generator kicked in immediately in my case. Houses, on the other hand, were out for a little while longer. About 2 hours.
