.....Why is You Tube having these problems, and can these be mentioned in this article? The problems include major glitches, freezing, sputtering, stuttering, excessive buffering, other problems. Is it possible the ongoing solar flare activity is behind this. Auroras were reported in my area of the US as well .~2026-87643-4 (talk) 05:51, 11 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
Check out Down Detector..... This states on, as of 2-17-2026 on Google that YouTube has had and continues to have a really catastrophic malfunction going on. I have seen on the Down Detector website for YouTube in which it says that YouTube has had and continues to have some kind of major malfunction. Can what is stated on Down Detector be used on here? The malfunction is still ongoing. I have tried to check out YouTube today (as of 2-20-2026 @ 2033 hrs CST), and it is grossly malfunctioning all over the place. It will freeze, cause my devices to buffer endlessly, sputter, stutter as well, cause other malfunctions. (I had my devices checked. They're OK)The claims were on Down Detector - You Tube Down?~2026-87643-4 (talk) 02:36, 21 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
While I trust Down Detector, we need a stable and reliable source for this like a news article. I believe that Down Detector only goes back so many hours. If I am correct, then the outage will likely not show on Down Detector's YouTube page in a week or so. (Even still, it needs to be a notable outage to be added.) --Super Goku V (talk) 07:50, 21 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

 A certain user fully extended-confirmed-protected YouTube; It was originally semi-protected. Who did it, and when will this last? UltraAtom (talk) 18:09, 12 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
First we should check whether these are sockpuppet accounts as the people involved in putting YouTube links exhibit similar behavior and second move protection doesn’t need to be admin only it should be extended protected. Wikbehere (talk) 00:46, 19 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
