Downdetector's methodology is pretty garbage. I'm always surprised to see techies referencing them.

From what I've seen it seems people complaining they can't get emails from MS so that's why gmail is showing as down.

And with Google is people complaining Chrome doesn't load their "pages". I bet they mean outlook.

This happens every time there's an outage. People see their email not working and go there and mark everything as down regardless of whether it is affected or not. There's nothing wrong with Gmail or AWS or Cloudflare or Facebook.

Damn. That is crazy. The curve kinda looks like the curve that happens every november to the Google searches of "all I want for christmas is you"
