On the off chance that you could have possibly missed this piece of information, Youtube is down and we’re not really sure what to do.

Whether it’s the internet that told you or you just thought your laptop was finally giving into its inevitable death, the video site is down. Like the whole thing.
We’re not really sure what’s going on with the site, but as many people have noted, the popular video-sharing website is currently down and it doesn’t appear to be coming back anytime soon.
There’s no official word yet as to what could have possibly caused the crash, but it has been reported on by TeamYoutube that the company is working on trying to get to the bottom of the problem.
They wrote in a tweet:
