Offshoring strikes again!

The issue appears to affect other services that use the YouTube infrastructure too, including YouTube TV and the movies and TV shows you’d purchase through Google TV (formerly known as Google Play Movies & TV). We couldn’t load them.
In our initial testing, the YouTube website seemed to load just fine, but videos themselves would continuously show the loading wheel. One Verge staffer got a video to load after about a minute. As of about 8:00PM ET, though, we see error screens like this whenever we try to watch a video:

Numerous users on Twitter (https://twitter.com/search?q=youtube%20down&src=typed_query) are reporting that YouTube isn’t working for them, either, and searches are spiking (https://t.co/faRH0nk7wj) for “is YouTube down.”
When reached for comment, YouTube pointed us to the tweet we included in this story.
Update November 11th, 8:21PM ET: Added the error screen we’re seeing, revised the DownDetector user reports, and included response from YouTube.
