The site doesn't have global outages every day, come on now.
If it doesn't it sure feel that way. Around 12am to 2am Japan time there will be a period of time where I simply cannot access Reddit.

Pointless speculation. Reddit has constant outages of this exact nature almost weekly. There's nothing special about this one.
Does it? I usually use Reddit on my lunch about this time every day and I can't remember the last time it was down.
Interestingly, HN is being really slow for me right now and also gave an error when I first loaded it. Maybe something more global is going on, like network or cdn issues?
HN is also really slow, this could be a wider-spread backend issue like when that one CDN took down half of the internet with it.
Or all the ppl missing Reddit are on HN to fill the need.

Yes, companies should seek profitability, yes it's good for the infinite VC money to stop propping up unhealthy companies. No, unhealthy companies shouldn't seek to get to profitability by abusing their users.
> I know people are upset about the CEO being a twat, but that's a separate issue.
Is it separate? Given that he's being a twat to the specific person that originally raised the concerns
Reddit almost always have problem around this time everyday though.

HN tends to slow to a crawl every time Reddit is offline, because Redditors come here instead.
based on the images from downdetector, a major IX/BGP-peering site went down.
Thats why you see the upstream up-tick in outage/delay reporting before the site outages.
Som IX went down.

Over 90% of subreddits are currently dark. Impossible they had an excess of traffic
By far not 90% of the subs are dark. It's 6000 subs out of 500,000, or 1.2%. Most people don't care at all about this blackout and are just checking the homepage anyway, which will always pull content no matter what. Reddit always has issues at this time (NA wakes up, EU gets off of work), nothing unusual.
Nobody cares about the 400 subscriber subreddit from some small town in Idaho with 3 people online at any given moment.
