[UPDATE 10:46pm – It’s back]. In case you haven’t already noticed, YouTube is currently down. Not parts of it, but the whole damn thing. So if you were hoping to watch some longplays, grab a movie quote or lose yourself in a spiralling maelstrom of dangerous conspiracy theory bullshit tonight, you’ll have to change your plans.
This would be the part where I post the Simpsons video of the kids rubbing their eyes and venturing outside once all the TVs stop working, but you know, YouTube is down, so here’s a screengrab instead.
UPDATE:
Thanks for your reports about YouTube, YouTube TV and YouTube Music access issues. 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.
