Ask HN: Is YouTube Working Properly?

51 points by asib 6y ago

Is Youtube not working for anyone else? Front page isn't properly loading recommendations for me on Chrome and I clicked a post and got a 404.

Down for me

Yeah, there are 500 and 503 errors in the dev console. Twitter is usually first to report this stuff: https://twitter.com/search?q=youtube%20down&src=typed_query&f=live https://twitter.com/search?q=youtube%20down&src=typed_query&...

It's not working properly for me either can't see YouTube channels uploaded videos

It's down for me. Gitlab.com had problems all day with shared workers due to a GCP issue. Perhaps there's more problems there.

Direct links to videos are working but no recommendations, descriptions, or comments. Doesn't seem to be an interaction with an ad blocker either.

still works, watching videos from embeds

Live stream I was watching died and won't load anymore.

Update: It's back on track. Refresh your pages fellas. --- 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/ https://downdetector.com/status/youtube/

  Interesting. Wordpress.org also had issues earlier today. I doubt it's related but hey, who knows.

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.

  Where are you located? It works fine for me, including a Live Steam I just joined. I live in LA.

    Northeast US. Actually it appears to have come back maybe two or three minutes after my first comment.

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. Edit: back to normal? (with disable_polymer=1)

Nope, nothing works. Nothing loads.

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.

down.
kart23 6y ago
It's back up for me. Looks like they got it back pretty quick, hope theres some kind of postmortem.

Working again for me now - UK

Intermittent bugginess -- "Video Unavailable" or missing recommendations / comments (both features in my book).

I got a few server errors on it a few minutes ago.
