So YouTube Crashed Today & People Lost Their Minds

If you went onto YouTube this morning in order to spiral down an internet hole of music videos and Vines but received an error message instead, don't worry, you weren't alone. 

Those trying to access the site were being presented with a range of error messages preventing access to YouTube, YouTube TV and YouTube Music. 

Team YouTube posted an update on Twitter at 12.41pm AEDT saying, "Thanks for your reports about YouTube, YouTube TV and YouTube Music access issues. We're working on resolving this and will let you know once fixed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will keep you updated."
