YouTube was reportedly down in the USA on Tuesday. At the time of writing, Downdetector logged over 2,80,000 people facing outage issues with YouTube.

Most of the issues appeared to be with the app, but some complained of troubles with the website as well. Users reported issues with YouTube TV too, with Downdetector logging over 7000 complaints at the time of writing.

YouTube is yet to address the outage and no cause for the ree video sharing site to go down is known yet.

Several people took to social media and the Downdetector comments section to express the problems they were facing.

Right in the middle of a bodice-ripper story, where the European Prince Trystan is really a werewolf. . .

However will it end???

As the famous expression goes, “The bigger they come the harder they fall.” Got a few words on load but that’s it. HA HA HA!

For me, if you know the name of the channel, you can type it in and get results, but it won’t show anything other than videos posted by that channel. However, that’s the only search functionality that I had working. Try to search for some random query and you just get this. Something went wrong message on both the app or web.

Oh noes!

What will all those millenial/gen-z drones do without their precious utube videos to tell them?

WTF does that mean?

I got the “Something went wrong” message, too. Then I hit the “Try again” button. Now everything works fine. Give that a go, folks.

I’d like to say more, but I’ve got police chase videos to watch.

Honolulu, here. I can now partially access it. But only some videos on a previously opened window. Very weird.

One of my biggest fears is that AI is going to figure out how to take down the Internet.
