YouTube faced a global outage on February 17, with over 320,000 US users reporting issues and many seeing a “Something Went Wrong” error. YouTube TV was also affected, as TeamYouTube said it is investigating but has not yet provided a fix.

Not working on my laptop, phone or TV   :-/

Working on my phone okay now.

Working on the laptop too, but some of the features are missing I think.

It's been working OK for me in the last weeks or more.

It only happened about 90 minutes ago, but they seem to be fixing it quickly.

Not everyone is affected.

Contestants don't get this long to intro themselves

Everyone in the audience is picture perfect

so are the judges

The blokes guitar plucking strokes don't fit the sounds

and his lip movement is not in sync either.

The voice & music is just to studio sounding.

>:( I appreciate good musical talent but I hate this fake shyte.

Yep, AI garbage.

Hard to believe people fall for this stuff.

His hand never moves on the guitar, by the way   ;D

AI - right up there with the BS the Media has pushed for over 60 years and more some. It's a spillover effect.
And notice the BS AI stuff is always Lefty Narrative crap. ;D

No.

In fact, I've noticed the exact opposite.

Just look at how much AI MAGA uses.

AI-Generated Imagery and Memes: Donald Trump has shared AI-generated images of himself, including portrayals as a king, a superhero, and in other idealized or fantastical scenes to shape a specific image and connect with followers.

Political Propaganda and Misinformation: MAGA-affiliated accounts use AI to create propaganda and often distorted representations of political opponents. This includes creating fake videos, such as those depicting false protest scenes.

Targeting Voters: Political action committees, such as MAGA Inc., have utilized AI-generated imagery in campaigns designed to influence specific voter demographics, including targeting Black voters in key swing states with, for example, fabricated images of Trump with Black supporters.

"MAGA Aesthetic" and Ideology: Generative AI is used to create content that aligns with the movement's nostalgic, or "better-past" focus, creating a distinct visual style often shared online.

Promotion of AI Tools: The movement has shown an affinity for AI due to the perception that critics of AI are opponents. Additionally, figures in the movement have used AI tools like Grok for content creation.

I’m currently in Tin Can Bay which is pretty regional but every time I visit getting bigger.

You tube is working fine here and my internet connection has never been better.

I’m staying very near the massive new ADF base.

I have learned  no matter where you find yourself on this earth if you need the internet.

Find a military base.

Yeah no you're not - there's no big expansion or spend going on at Tin Can to the Camp Kerr Military Training Grounds.

That is what is happening at Shoalwater Bay Training Grounds...... some 475klm north West of Tin Can as the crow flies.
