Serious question: Was any value lost? (this may appear sarcastic) Facebook obviously loses some ad revenue and Facebook customers may lose sales. But do Facebook/Instagram users suffer? But how does losing social media for several hours affect the quality of life of users?
"This usually means we're making an improvement to the database your account is stored on. While this process won't affect your account, you temporarily won't be able to access the site." https://www.facebook.com/help/134401680031995 I guess that this is all that I will get.

I think the only reason your comment gets down voted is because it's biased only to one side. I see about what Jon Oliver states as if I remember correct 1/2 as many conspiracy posts from about Trump (Edit: I meant to write conservatives write 2x as many conspiracy posts as democrats.

Gmail and other Google products went down last night. Close though. Thankfully not on Twitter or FB.

It was a joke based on what people often say about FB. I don't use their platforms.
It might just be because a lot of people around here read thishttp://www.paulgraham.com/hackernews.html and think that any joke means it's a bad comment. IDK. As I said I thought your comment was funny.
