This sucks and I might die. At first, I thought it was just an issue with my computer, but the mobile app on my phone won't work either. Being a master detective, I googled "is Youtube down." and sure enough...

I'm glad I was asleep while this happened. :)

It’s because everyone tried watching Shane Dawson’s Jake Paul video documentary series, and everyone watching at once crashed the website I think.

It's interesting how even one of the most visited pages on the entire internet, a page that gets more than thirty million visits daily from all around the world, can collapse pretty badly when tons of people try to watch the same video at once.

Still, the problem was solved pretty quickly (an hour), so you could easily founded something else to do while you waited.
