You may resume your procrastination. After nearly a 90-minute outage on Tuesday, YouTube service has been restored, but not before causing some to express their frustrations out on the company.
According to the Down Detector, the outage was felt by coast-to-coast by thousands of users.
The reports started coming in of YouTube's outage around 9:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday. By 10:45 p.m. ET, users were reporting that they were able to view programming once again.
There is no word on what caused YouTube service to go out.
YouTube is the second-most visited website on the internet. According to YouTube, it has 1 billion active users, making up almost one-third of the internet.
Some on social media did no react well to Tuesday's events.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We're aware and are looking into this.
