YouTube is down...

No this is not a drill

 

Yes, it crashed.

 

"It's the end of the world as we know it..."

 

It's back

 

And I feel fine...

 

I'd be curious to know how much it costs them in lost revenue. $1 million per hour? Google makes around $300 million per day, but they don't break out what YouTube is as a percentage of that figure.

 

My dad, who is 82, kept on calling me last night about how youtube wasn't working as if I could fix it. I told him to reboot. Thank goodness, during that time, youtube had resolved most of the issues and my dad could go back to watching ping pong tournaments.

Where were you during the great youtube black out of 2018?

 

And you get credit for fixing it for him!!!

 

The funny thing about that is, it was the one time I was trying to look something up legitimately. Lol I didn't know it was down at the time.
