It's down for me. Tells me my channel "has no content". I have a live stream scheduled in less than 24 hours - keeping my fingers crossed this is resolved quickly.
My recommendations are not loading in "old" or new youtube. Visiting a watch?v=xyz url loaded the video with no description, channel info, comments or related videos.
On one hand congrats to the person who registered the channel name "status" - anyone Googling "youtube status" right now might land on their channel.
On the other hand if Youtube is down then anyone landing on this person's channel won't see content, so they won't be able to ride that SEO wave after all. It was a good effort, but came up short.

Thought I was the only one. All videos are being met with a 'Video unavailable" warning.
I highly doubt this was a scheduled outage. Really looking forward to see what caused this.
edit: yes confirmed - https://downdetector.com/status/youtube/
Edit: back to normal? (with disable_polymer=1)
