Global video sharing app Youtube has been down since Wednesday morning and people are having a gala time making memes about the situation.

They also asked people to switch off and switch on their device to see if the problem continues to be there. People reported several issues while trying to access Youtube. While some stated that they couldn't view the videos in high definition, others stated how the videos were randomly pausing and stopping. 

Netizens took full advantage of the current situation and took to social media and made memes about the Youtube outage and within no time, Youtube Down was trending on Twitter. While some people stated that they began cussing their wifi routers before realizing that it was Youtube that wasn't working, others shared a picture of Earth burning and wrote that this is what it looks like when Youtube stops working even for two minutes. A person mentioned how he turned off his cell phone twice to fix the issue, only to realize that it wasn't his phone which was at fault. A similar incident happened in November last year as well when several other Google services, including Google search, suffered a global outage and thousands took to social media and made memes about it as well.
