what ever will i do /s

the upside this is a great opportunity to do an early bed time

Vaslo•1h ago
I’m able to reach videos via my history but not getting anything on the front page.
chriscrisby•1h ago
Now I have nothing
ge96•1h ago
It is funny when your internet goes down (panic!)
jayknight•1h ago
I'm currently sitting next to my son who is watching a Mark Rober video on youtube.

But yeah, neither the web site or the app are loading anything right now. But I guess a stream in progress in unaffected.

This is certificate issuance being down?
LoganDark•1h ago
And started over five hours ago.
tmcz26•1h ago
Well that’s one way to go to bed on time :)

I can't sleep without something playing in the background.. Curse this habbit.

I discovered a particularly good genre for that:

Zero narration mechanical manufacturing videos. E.g. from some Japanese paperclip/thumbtack factory:

yt-dlp pulling down a handful of videos and playing them locally could help if using workstation or laptop then re-up them to phone if using a phone.

Audiobooks?

I’ve been forcibly signed out from my Google account across all devices I think this may be their auth that went down.
gilbetron•1h ago
I'm already, seriously, looking forward to the post-mortem. It kind of sucks when things break, but it is also really interesting to hear the gritty details. Hopefully they don't disappoint? Odds that is AI related?
neo_doom•51m ago
Same here... Having been on both sides of it, I much rather prefer reading about a post-mortem than writing one
andrewinardeer•6m ago
You think they'll release a post mortem publically?
AlienRobot•1h ago
The home feed of the website doesn't seem to be working for me, but individual channel pages are working, and videos are loading.
d342•1h ago
yeah same for me. just home page. they have a very big server driven UI response for a 5xx something went wrong try again page.
mbilker•1h ago
I concur. I can reach channel pages from my channel list on the home page even with the recommended videos not loading.
dpbriggs•1h ago
Directly navigating to a channel works fine.
sva_•1h ago
Or subscription feed https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions
pgrote•1h ago
It appears to only be related to the front page. Other pages load fine going directly to the URL.
userbinator•1h ago
Videos are streaming but the quality seems to be low; on a few videos I checked, format 136 which is supposed to be 1080p is currently actually only 360p. Possibly a bandwidth problem.
heelix•1h ago
Man... updated mozilla,toyed with my ad blocker, now updating the os. Never crossed my mind this was a 'them' problem.
therobots927•1h ago
I’m sure Claude will have it up and running in just a few minutes. No big deal.
kgwxd•1h ago
FCC is really trying hard to stop that Talarico video.
dysoco•1h ago
You can search and watch videos directly with no issue, but main feed and suggestions on the side of videos are not appearing.

Really goes to show how much I depend on the algorithmic recommendations, I have no idea what to watch having to search manually. Usually my feed always has something that piques my interest.

edit: back up

kingstnap•41m ago
Search on YouTube has been broken for at least 4 to 5 years.

Some time back it used to find stuff. Now its just recommends shorts.

seatac76•1h ago
Interesting outage, I can play videos added to my playlists, but homepage is empty.
Freedom2•1h ago
Interesting. I wonder what LeetCode hard they'll use to investigate and fix this issue.
proc0•1h ago
Watch this be a bug added by some AI agent.
sharkytowers•57m ago
I think it is an authorization issue? Thought it might be on my end... glad to have found this.
