The video-sharing website is seeing a massive service disruption across the northeastern United States, as well as parts of West and East Coasts. Users in Australia also failed to watch their favorite videos. Mexico, Brazil and EU countries have also been affected, according to reports on the Down Detector monitoring site.
WTF is happening with Youtube right now #YouTubeDOWNpic.twitter.com/moWnAiNrjY— NintenDiddy (@DiddyNinten) October 17, 2018
The company has acknowledged it received many “reports of access issues” about YouTube, YouTube TV and YouTube Music. “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,” it said in a tweet.
Meanwhile, Twitter and Facebook erupted with traffic as users tried to figure out what was going on, but no one seems to have solved the mystery yet. Deprived of their ability to watch video clips, people did their best with GIFs.

Try it yourself, YouTube is totally down. Hacked for banning the truth too often? Too much fake news anyway, they won't be missed much.

The R canaries are freaking out because the pubbies are going to lose the midterm elections, and Nancy Pelosi will become the Speaker of the House, two heartbeats away from the presidency. If anything happens to Trump & Pence, it's President Pelosi!
The progressive R bushbot snowflakes (Mitt's Nation), are gonna freak out every 2 years during election season. It's the way snowflakes roll.
Team MAGA? Hopefully they'll at least be able to end Donnell's crippling sanctions and tariffs on Joe & Jane Sixpack, and effectively counter the Fake News tweets from the White Hut.
