YouTube crashed worldwide leaving people baffled as videos disappeared from the site
At around 7pm ET, November 11, YouTube crashed around the world and users were left baffled as thousands of videos seemed to disappear in front of their eyes, while others simply wouldn’t load.
An outage map on Down Detector displayed the outage throughout the world. In addition, The Verge reported that YouTube TV and Google TV were also out of commission during this time.
YouTube tweeted immediately that they were aware of the problem and trying to fix it, saying: “If you’re having trouble watching videos on YouTube right now, you’re not alone – our team is aware of the issue and working on a fix. We’ll follow up here with any updates.”
