“We’re aware some of you are having issues accessing YouTube right now. Our teams are aware, and we’ll provide updates as soon as we have them,” YouTube said.
There were over 150,000 reports of outages in the U.S. at 9 pm ET, compared with the peak of over 320,000 users an hour earlier, Downdetector showed.
