On the night of Google I/O 2021, a playback error is affecting many on YouTube with videos ceasing to play at random. An unknown error is causing video playback on YouTube to error out for some users. In some cases, it appears that quality drops from a standard resolution such as 1080p or 720p down to a much lower quality before crashing entirely. Your results may vary. The issue appears fairly widespread at this point with a huge uptick in reports on DownDetector regarding the problem. We encountered the problem ourselves and it persisted a refresh, but closing out of YouTube entirely and then going back to the same video through search seemed to fix the problem. Interestingly, DownForEveryoneOrJustMe reports that the site as a whole is down. YouTube TV and YouTube Music are also affected. Earlier this evening the @TeamYouTube account on Twitter acknowledged an issue with videos not streaming or uploading properly, but there was no spike on DownDetector at that time. According to the same account, that same issue is what’s causing the widespread outage tonight. To clarify, the issue is still ongoing, and we're currently looking into it. We'll follow up once we have an update.…

One Direction may not be an active boyband anymore, but that doesn't mean that they're not still immensely popular. Originally brought together on the reality show, The X-Factor, the group went on to become arguably the most successful contestants to have ever been part of the series. One Direction didn't even win their particular series of the show, but that didn't stop them from becoming hugely popular. While their solo careers have all gone on to be impressive as well, it is together as a group when they're at their most popular, and the huge numbers that their music videos garner on YouTube are a sign of exactly that. 10 One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks) (453 Million Views) This particular song isn't actually an original by the band but is instead a cover song that they did in order to raise money for the charity, Comic Relief. The band covered two songs in one, with this blending in Blondie's "One Way Or Another" with the popular song, "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones. The song reached number one in the UK charts, and unlike the usual highly polished videos that come for major pop groups, the band took a different twist…

The 12-track body of work is unlike his other offerings in many ways but it was his desire to work outside of his comfort zone that truly helped him take the project to another level. He enlisted heavy-hitting producers, along with top-tier rappers, to flesh out The Off-Season.Kevin Winter/Getty ImagesAmong the many highlights on the project, it's "Amari" that's likely going to maintain a steady rotation in the coming months. Timbaland does have co-production credits but his involvement on the track was unconventional, to say the least. Apparently, J. Cole frequently seeks inspiration in Timbo's Twitch streams which end up on YouTube. One particular video caught Cole's attention but he was reluctant to reach out to Timbaland to ask for the beat, in case he never ended up using it."So I looped up the YouTube lil' rip, made a whole song on this shit. I spent the next two days writing and recording the song, and right when I was 90% through writin' it, I was like, I should probably…

Siragusa took to Twitter today to share the news and call out the Amazon-owned service on their suspension policies and this "alarming precedent" they have established. In her posts, she talks about how Twitch did not reach out to her prior to the suspension of ad revenue and that she had to initiate the conversation. She states that this lack of warning is a precedent that all streamers should take note of and be aware of the fact that "although content may not ostensibly break community guidelines...Twitch has complete discretion to target individual channels and demonetize them."
