Did YouTube just go down at 9 o’clock eastern standard time? Just me?

I’m getting a really weird error screen with a monkey carrying a hammer but I can’t access YouTube on my computer or on my iPad. Every other website that I use is working....

Maintenance?

If Trump is going to shut down the Internet I was hoping he would start with Twitter first.

Start time of failure was actually 7:00 AM EST.

At around 7:35 AM EST, I was able to log back into my YouTube account.

So it is it either working for everyone or my use of a private window reenabled it for me.

It works if you open a private window and go to YouTube, it should load the default screen for a non-signed in user.

I tried to sign in and then that failed.

Some 4-Chan guy figured it out. The actual problem has something to do with Google’s sign-in server.

So as long as you’re OK with not accessing your own favorites, channels or playlists you can still get to YouTube and play videos.

Edit: Uhggg, the default YouTube feed is mindless and horrible...

Edit 2: I was just able to log in to YouTube with my Google password. 7:35 AM EST

My Subscriptions and playlists, etc. are back...
