Doesn't really show much of a change right now, nor does the aggregate chart for the SIX in Seattle.

The largest downstream/eyeball networks that take Youtube traffic do it via PNIs with them so you won't see that in an IX fabric traffic chart. For example the Google/Youtube AS exchanges traffic with Comcast directly by their own dedicated ports, no IX involved.

Is this not indicative of the drop of traffic in Australia?

Indeed it's not showing the Youtube issue for the reason you mentioned. Still relevant to the question above :)
