YouTube is down, and the internet doesn't know what to do.
The video platform was inaccessible on Tuesday night, either showing a server error, a blank page, or broken images when people tried to load the website.

YouTube wrote in a tweet that it was "working on resolving" the issues, and apologised for any inconvenience that may have been caused.
