Starting some time during the day August 8th 2014, Google’s servers stopped processing new videos. Even my channel has been affected as I’ve had three video uploads utterly fail to process. There are few things more frustrating than writing out a description, and filling a video full of tags (which can’t be copied out of their tag section) only to have the video bork, and have all of that writing lost.
This issue comes only a day or so off of significant changes to how Google organizes tags. One might wonder if that has anything to do with the current processing error.
We totally understand that these can happen, no system can have 100% up time, but some notification to producers that you’re aware of the issue and working on a fix might be nice Youtube? Also, when a video fails, maybe give us the ability to open the video description notes and tags as plain text for us to copy, so we don’t have to re-write all of that content manually.
We’ll keep you posted on when it’s safe to try re-uploading your cat vids and vlogs. Stay strong. Stay safe. We will persevere…
