Would it involve hitting whoever/whatever handles their DNS like that one attack about a year ago?

FYI: I legit am retarded to such things and my networking knowledge is...meh. So please correct me.

DNS is resolving because people can get to the site. Because of the distributed nature of YouTube's resources (at DNS as well as other layers), it's very unlikely to be DDoS related. Static content loads, but video content doesn't. Seems like an application error, or a problem with media streaming infrastructure.
