A brief YouTube outage on Monday was the one of the biggest recent glitches for the popular video site, according to a company that uses complaints on Twitter and other sources to measure the impact of online outages.
Around 3 p.m. Pacific Time, the site started displaying a plain-text page with a “500 internal service error” message that read, “Sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.”
Google’s YouTube division issued a statement but didn’t immediately give a reason for the outage, which lasted about 10 minutes, or detail how many people it affected.
“Some people encountered errors, or a slower than normal experience on YouTube today,” the statement said. “We worked quickly to address the issue and fixed the problem. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this caused.”
