This is the first time I've seen YouTube go down like this.

It happened a few months back. I remember another HN thread on it.

Hmm, if only there wasn't a single monolithic corporation that hosted so much of the Internet's video content.

I've been trying to drop Youtube, but I simply don't know where else to find that content that I enjoy elsewhere. It doesn't exist.

Don’t worry, I have everything saved via youtube-dl.

Though youtube-dl was taken off github too, so that is down as well.

It's still on PyPi. You can still update it via `pip3 install --user --upgrade youtube-dl`
drilldrive
where do I send that line? And how do I download and operate youtube-dl from PyPi?

You type that in the command line (your shell).

Strange there isn’t a status page or an official global Twitter.

My thoughts exactly. I realize for most it's not a paid service (except probably advertisers) but after searching for a service status page from Google, I couldn't find one.

502 bad gateway for redirector.googlevideo.com seems to be the culprit, twenty-ish second response time
