They also have very frequent cases where the site throws up an error page or is completely unreachable because it is under heavy load. I can't think of another major social network that has those problems on a weekly basis either.

Not recently, but Twitter's "fail whale" became famous due to problems Twitter had under heavy load.

  I still regularly see Reddit failures every week.

  That was also a decade ago.

    I regularly get the fail whale on mobile, but I suspect it's an intentional dark pattern to push you into the mobile app rather than an engineering issue.
