10% of YouTube views is a significant portion of ALL internet traffic. They weren’t prioritising YouTube, they used that as an example to describe the magnitude of the outage. It is easy to measure YouTube views, somewhat harder to measure the effect on a service as complex as GCP. I am sure they’ll have more to say about the effect on GCP services once they have more detailed analysis.
