Did Youtube just Crash?

<center>Usually my Morning routine has a little dosage of Youtube Videos which I like to watch as I wake up. But today Youtube was nowhere to be found. My smartphone just kept giving me the error saying Try again. It was when I logged in my Personal Computer that I found that Youtube was indeed down.

So the error that was shown on my Personal Computer looked like this.

After watching this I thought something might be wrong with my Network settings so I started dabbling a little bit. Then I checked something called **Is the Website Down?** tracker which shows if a Website is down for everyone or only for me.

As you can see it says Youtube was down for only me. But I took the investigation one step further. I looked into twitter and saw no Updates from Youtube themselves but once I typed in Youtube+ Errors I was greeted with a lot of people showing their discomfort.

Now the thing that caught me by surprise is the fact that 

**Why was the Tracking websites showing us the wrong information?
Were they paid to do so?**

These questions came to my mind as clearly I was not the only one suffering from this crash, many peoples were dissatisfied. Now what actually happened will be very hard for me to know but what I can think is that Youtube tried to do damage control in this case.

I'm having the same problem.

First, I though I was hacked, lol.

Similar thing happened to me few months ago, and I crapped my pants.

But, I searched it up, and it seems like their servers are down or something like that.

I also reach to somewhat same conclusion as you. Instead of thinking I was hacked I asked to myself Did Youtube just Banned me?

I was scared for a minute after that I found out what actually was happening.

The same happened to me and I also thought maybe there's something wrong with my network. I believe this is the first time I get to see youtube crashing.

I just had the same experience! It’s probably all for the best. I’ve been thinking that YouTube is dying since they censored Infowars. I’ll just come to Steemit. I’m not going to fight to give my business to an entity that is authoritarian and fascist. Thanks for the post, because it makes it clear that they want to destroy free speech.
