We just tried to open 10 channels from videos in our YouTube feed and all of them return the same error "500 Internal Service Error". Surprisingly, MKBHD's channel is seemingly the only one visible and working just fine. Even Casey Neistat's channel is returning the same error.

Edit [16:30 ET]: MKBHD's Channel is down again but Casey Neistat's is back. It seems the issue is scattered and intermittent.
