YOUTUBE DOWN - Update 1:
YouTube's official Twitter channels have acknowledged the issue and are currently attempting to resolve it as quick as they can.
Writing on the official @TeamYouTube Twitter account, a message was sent out which read:
"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."
Unfortunately, there's no follow up information on how long this outage could occur or what has caused the issues to begin with.
However, it doesn't appear to be the more common Error message seen by users in the past when YouTube has encountered bad service issues
