Youtube wide error
Added 2017-11-04 06:17:18 +0000 UTCYesterday it happened again. A Youtube wide error that affected most creators. Videos did not show up in sub boxes. Most of our subscribers were not notified. Everybody who uploaded yesterday was kind of screwed. Our upload yesterday will have between 500K to 1 million views less because of that. Which translates into thousands of dollars. Not because Youtube is bad or our video sucked or anything. Just random bad luck that comes with being a creator on the internet. This is what Patreon protects us against. Random events that really hurt our income. Thank you for supporting us on Patreon and making events like yesterday less scary and frustrating.

2017-11-05 05:17:44 +0000 UTCPersonally, I check the Subscriptions page (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions</a>) regularly to make sure I don't miss anything!
2017-11-05 01:26:12 +0000 UTCthe embedded video here actually also didn't work for me. I got a notification mail for the video from Youtube though and this worked fine

2017-11-04 14:51:18 +0000 UTCPhilipp & company, That TOTALLY sucks. I'll make a small one-time increase in my patreon to try and offset it slightly. I hope lots of others do as well. A comment on distributing large amounts of content on the Internet: Having more than a little experience with the other side of this equation, I can tell you the engineers at YouTube are literally sick to their stomach when this type of thing happens. These outages reach all the way up to the CEO. It sucks, for everyone. Based on your response, it is clear you know this was not intentional. But more than that, a LOT of time, effort, and money went into trying to prevent it. YouTube does an amazing job given the challenges they have. They will get better. Anyway, I am glad I am a tiny part of backstopping you in these cases. And i hope some of those missed views are made up over time. Obviously a dollar (Euro?) six months from now is not as useful as one today, but I still hope you get them eventually. Thank you for all you do.

2017-11-04 14:14:59 +0000 UTCI got notified. Also, I shared it on Facebook (before knowing about the YouTube glitch), maybe that helps π
