The numbers just keep rising. Now there are over 11,000 complaints. In India alone, about 3,336 people have reported issues with YouTube.

Most of them, i.e. 53% said it’s a server connection problem. Another 34% say the website won’t work, and 13% can’t stream videos at all.

We at NewsX, too tried loading up YouTube ourselves. The page took ages to load, even though every other website worked just fine. When we finally got in, playing videos was a mess, lots of delays, sometimes nothing would play at all.

But YouTube isn’t the only thing glitching. Google Search is also down for a lot of people.

According to DownDetector, over 11,000 users have already reported issues. Naturally, people are talking about all this on social media, sharing their frustration as both YouTube and Google struggle to stay online.
