Internet consumption in India has increased exponentially and YouTube played a huge part in this. There are countless videos on YouTube in various categories like films, education, comedy, cooking, health, music and more. It also provides a very rich platform for artists to showcase their talents. There are several YouTube bloggers who are earning lots of money through it.
In the last few years, YouTube has become one of the best platforms for independent artists, who needed a platform to shine. They are doing very good too. As of now, YouTube has become an essential part of life, we can’t imagine what would happen if it doesn’t work.
According to the report of the leading daily Times of India, YouTube desktop version crashed and stopped working for a few moments. Some of the users have also claimed that mobile version of YouTube was not working either, whereas several others claimed that they got 502 error notification when they tried to open YouTube.
YouTube Team took to Twitter to confirm that there are some technical errors that caused problems on YouTube, YouTube Music and YouTube TV, but they are working on it and it will resolve pretty soon. The Tweet reads,
“Thanks for your reports about YouTube, YouTube TV, and YouTube Music access issues. We’re working on resolving this and will let you know once fixed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will keep you updated.”
