You Tube Crash: How Jeffree Star & Shane Dawson Reacted

Jeffree Star racist

Getty Jeffree Star was one of those who commented about the YouTube crash.

Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson are two of the world’s biggest stars on YouTube. So it’s not surprising that people wondering what they thought about YouTube going… down.

The YouTube crash was, thankfully, fairly short-lived. However, it did last about two hours. YouTube was not working, and that bothered some YouTubers – a lot. At least, it gave the world’s best-known YouTube stars a chance to show their comedic timing all the more. Jeffree Star, Shane Dawson, KSI, and more weighed in on Twitter. However, others, like Logan Paul, did not – on that medium anyway.

YouTube wrote on Twitter before the problem was fixed: “Thanks for your reports about YouTube, YouTube TV and YouTube Music access issues. We’re working on resolving this and will let you know once fixed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will keep you updated.”

Around 11 p.m. EST, YouTube announced, “We’re back! Thanks for all of your patience. If you continue to experience issues, please let us know.” YouTube, YouTube TV and YouTube Music were affected for about two hours.

That, perhaps predictably, sent some famous vloggers in search of another medium: Twitter.

Here’s what Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson had to say. In fact, Star mentioned Dawson in his response to the YouTube crash.
