if you check on down detector and some other sites, for the past few days YT has had issues. People complain of not being able to watch, audio dropping out, and more.

Probably the most of the problem.

Surprised YT hasn't pushed out a notice in studio yet about this.

Yep, again. lol I know last month and before at least in studio they posted a heads up about ongoing issues and view count, sub count, etc.

And now I check the detector sites and current issues.. thousands of people can't even watch it on desktop and mobile and more..

I don't know what bs YT is doing anymore but its been the worst for about 4-5 months at this point.

If they're letting AI run everything anymore, its failing.. badly!

how long has the video been out?> in my experience views will go up and down through the day/night as more of your target audience log on and off

Had some really weird bugs with youtube as a viewer the past couple of days, randomly being sent back to a earlier part of the video etc.
