Anecdotally it seems like a lot of sites are slow right now. Could just be my ISP though.

Reddit is always down. With 2000 or so employees, you'd think they could find the headcount to fix their reliability problems before pushing garbage mobile apps and web UI revamps.

I guess good engineering has taken a back seat to selling user data to AI vendors.

I see a couple blips on various services around the same time, maybe there's some common cause:

Bluesky's search is down, and Amazon.com is super slow for me. Feels like an AWS outage brewing.

And the world hasn't ended and neither has the web melted down. What a surprise ...
