It has recovered from a worldwide outage that prevented all videos from loading for about an hour. However, we have more important things to talk about.

Twitter-verse, as it always does, started tweeting about the moment of realisation they all had when they got to know it’s actually the video platform that’s not working, NOT their devices! 

These tweets definitely crack us up.

Well, to be honest, we thought there’s something wrong with our phones too… so, we can very much relate to the tweets above! 

We’re glad that it’s back and functioning fine right now, so let’s enjoy it while we can!
