It's worth mentioning for context how long this outage lasted. It started at around midnight eastern and only came back at around 8am today.

Furthermore, before the outage, people were able to view other people's account details without doing anything. It definitely seems like it was a caching issue in that regard - nobody attempted to do anything other than use the site and they saw other people's data.

They use Cloudflare. I doubt they would not respect Cache-Control.

This was not an issue with Cloudflare.

"during the update process our caching ruleset was not obeyed by our CDN partner" makes it sound like it.

Judging by the comments and memes on that page, Twitch's community has some very toxic and juvenile members.

It's a website to watch video games; that's exactly what I'd expect.

I think its unfair to stereotype a community made up of people of all walks of life based on a sliver of a sliver of its members. What's different about gaming than reading books or watching movies or playing soccer that makes gamers toxic and juvenile?

Stereotyping is always oversimplifying, but I agree with sejje. Every group has their vocal, toxic, and juvenile minority. And, in this case, the behavior in the comments matches my experiences with the vocal, toxic, and juvenile minority of gamers.
