Reddit gets a lot of grief for stability issues but the fact is it is an immensely popular site that a huge number of people have a close affiliation to. A massive percentage of these people spend a significant portion of their day browsing Reddit, interacting with other redditors, etc. and for the site to be down for as long as it has is news, regardless of similar issues occuring in the past. The main reason this is news is because this is an Amazon issue but also because tens of thousands of people who frequent the site regularly are now aimlessly browsing the internet in the hopes of finding alternative lulz and in my case some of us are even getting work done. shudder
