YouTube channel pages have been mostly down this afternoon as of 2pm EST today. The company says it’s working on a fix.
Trying to visit channels on the web or mobile has resulted in users seeing a “500 internal Server Error” message on the web and “An error occurred” message on mobile.
CanadianOutages.com has had over 600 users reporting issues with YouTube since 2 pm.

The YouTube Tech team has confirmed on Twitter that channels are down and they’re working on a fix.
So far in our experience at MobileSyrup, videos are still watchable and sometimes when you try to load a channel it does work as well.
Update: 02/04/2018 9:19 pm EST YouTube has solved the issue and the service should be running as normal.
Thanks for your patience, the 500 error is now fixed! https://t.co/9ooRVS9sh8
