A lot of different sites are down right now. I wonder what's going on.
what are some others?
Ironically, outage.report, a website for reporting downed web services is also down.

So signs point to it not just being youtube, a number of websites seem to be having issues. May be a provider is down?

Maybe outage.report is down because so many people are hitting it after YouTube going down...
discourse is down for me.
Not working for me.
Yeah I'm getting the following error:

500 Internal Server Error Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

If you see them, send them this information as text (screenshots frighten them):

<huge hash text>

I get the same for individual videos.
Yep down for me too, 500 Internal Server Error. (Montana)
Direct videos are up again, but it looks like other site features are wonky
It seems like the interface is working, but the actual content is failing to load.
At first, the whole interface was failing to load. There was a 500 error message and a monkey with a wrench.
Embedded videos also embed the monkey on play.
This is going to be one good postmortem.
Mistakes were made... anyways. here's Wonderwall.
I sure hope they live stream it.
On Twitch of course
You're joking, but I like the idea of watching a live postmortem with Twitch chat.
Me too, but I imagine a tsunami of 4head spam.
