‘I have nothing else to do.’ YouTube goes down, Twitter has a meltdown, and a meme fest

With most people stuck at home due to the Covid-19 outbreak, streaming video apps help us beat the lockdown blues. In dire times like these, YouTube is an easy way to keep yourself entertained. However, the global population was in for a shock as the streaming video service went down in the wee hours of Friday.

Indian users reported issues with accessing the app at around 6 am in the morning. According to Downdetector, YouTube was facing issues in India, the USA, Europe, Japan, and parts of Australia.

While YouTube is yet to comment on the outage, netizens didn’t refrain from offering their two cents on the same. Netizens took to Twitter to check if it were really down or if their internet connection was lousy and in the process, came up with hilarious memes.


Some netizens were hit by an existential crisis and didn’t know what to do with their lives anymore.

Others used the viral African pallbearers meme to say goodbye to YouTube.

Some Twitter users could see only one video related to Covid-19 on the site.

Others couldn’t help but have a massive meltdown.

This netizen continued staring at his screen.

Several others came to Twitter to check their internet connection.
