Reading the comments here, they Uno Reversed themselves, blocking official frontend users (official yt app, website, etc.) and allowing unofficial ones (Pipepipe, NewPipe, and some others). Lol. Nice job, guys.
These are the guys in charge. Pennywise pound foolish.
Pennywise, you say?
LOL no wonder why I haven’t been having any issues.
they updated the fucking UI and broke some shit probably
And in typical fashion, the UI update is fucking awful
This whole new version of material is god awful. Makes all my apps look like they’re for preschoolers. Marketing and design had to justify themselves again
It does look like a giant tablet, like “kids will use this anyways”
The transport controls are gigantic now, take up a good chunk of screen real estate whenever u wanna just skim
But the ads were working.
I bet the outage was some new antiadblock nefariousness they’re trying to implement.
Yeah I think that was the most frustrating part of it being down. The false promise of an ad…
I thought they finally broke my modded YouTube app.
I thought my IP had been blocked for using Freetube.
I had to turn off spoof video streams in miscellaneous, worked right away after that. 20.14.43
Cheers that worked.
Same here. One of my favorite car content creators started a livestream pretty much right when the outage started. Lots of people in live chat were having issues and couldn’t see anything. The UI kept erroring out saying “player outdated”.
Birds of a feather…
NewPipe. No issues at all.
Edit: autocorrect
Oh shit, what about the advertisers and the influencers, will they be ok? /s
I didn’t notice. YouTube hasn’t worked for like a year.
Good.
It’s been acting up a lot over the last day or so. I thought it was my ad block or something.
Same, but I tried turning it off to test and there was no change.
did you risk watching an ad? brave
is the brave adblocker that good tho?
Pipepipe users did not even notice
YouTube has been absolute dogshit on my Apple TV box, which ironically is the only place I’m not blocking ads. So ads aside I should be getting the best experience… but no. So most of the time I AirPlay my MacBook to my TV and just use Firefox. I mean outside the outage.

It doesn’t outright block ads but it shuts ‘em up and skips ASAP.
SmartTube block all ads :)
Just sideload smart tube
I gotta tell you I’ve got music streaming like 14 hours a day and I didn’t notice an outage while using Waterfox and uBlock Origin.
I tough it was me
Good news, it isn’t just you.
I watched the yify rip of boondock saints directors cut. it’s back.
