With the uptick in both organic growth with the new publicity for the platform, and also with probably large number of creators frantically archiving their YT catalog to bitchute and other places, I'd say they are groaning and creaking under all the love.
For a frontend responder service to fail at one connect attempt and succeed on an otherwise identical attempt a few moments later is not uncommon for web services under load. I hope they can scale up & out as well as getting distributed akamai-style CDNs in place around the world because if they aspire to be a full youtube replacement, they are gonna need that level of brute power for their systems.
