For anyone who doesn't know, the whole of Youtube's servers were down for like an hour or 2, but it was eventually fixed. Twitter kinda blew up with #YoutubeDOWN and it eventually was fixed. Hopefully this doesn't become a recurring thing for Youtube to lose it completely.

The past few streams I had done were all started with major technical issues. The one I started tonight was going perfectly, and then Youtube itself died... Fortunately, I use restream to simultaneously stream to Twitch as well...

That explains it...I just woke up, checked my stats, saw a humungous drop in views in the middle of the night, and then a return to normal two hours later.

It would be interesting to know how much revenue was lost during the period of time that the system was down!

I personally must have lost at least 10c :eeks:

I didn't notice the outage at all, because I was asleep at the time. I had bigger issue one day before, because a DRM agency made a copyright claim on one of my videos manually, so I had to resolve it with a dispute. I didn't have any claims for a good year or even more until Monday. They released the claim, so I went the sleep and when I was awake I only saw people reporting the outage, but everything was back to normal. According to my real time stats, it wasn't 100% down:



So everything is good I guess.

I wonder if we will ever hear what the problem was? Hackers? Update gone wrong? Planned outage? Someone spilling coffee In the server....lol Youtube rarely ever has outages like that
