Famous YouTube stars turned to Twitter, in an obviously scared mode. Losing fame is that scary, right? They mostly used the hashtag #YouTubeDown. The hour-long outage affected YouTube, YouTube TV and YouTube music. However, the YouTube support team took to their Twitter to restore a bit of faith in the service users that they were fixing the issue.
