I don’t think anyone is going to stop using YouTube because of a small downtime. There is really no alternative to it out there.

What about the new users visiting the site for the 1st time in that small downtime window? If their first experience sucks there is likelihood they won't come back.

So:

(number of new users) x (probability of those users not coming back) x (lifetime value of a youtube user) = I highly doubt this is equal to 0

I truly believe that the number of people that navigated to youtube for the first time ever in their lives during that window might actually be 0.

So you believe YT's growth rate == 0?
