Meta pushing Trump propaganda pages. Trump directs FCC to have CBS block Colbert from airing his James Talarico interview. Colbert makes it available on YouTube. Entire Trump admin getting outed hard for Epstein associations. Seems like they’re having their tech bro douche bags meddle with media sources HARD this week.

I had the same thought. Now that YouTube is back that was the first video I checked. It’s still there. Now I need to make sure Rick Astley’s masterpiece is still available

Always come to Reddit to see if everyone else is having the same problems. Love this community!

YeetedApple • 245 points

Great way to get quick info also. Got kicked out of the app on my tv, tried my phone and wasn’t working there either, so come here to see if anyone else is having problems, and lol, definitely not just me at least

I’ve NEVER been logged out of my YouTube account on Xbox, so I’ve been panicking hoping I still have the credentials😭

YeetedApple • 28 points

Once it’s back up, you might be able to get lucky by restarting the Xbox. The account info is probably still there, just something on YouTube’s end breaking the login right now
