So you're saying companies losing huge ad budgets for an hour across all these websites, traders not being able to place trades, withdraw funds or close their positions from their trading accounts and consumers not being able to purchase anything from 1 million+ Shopify shops worldwide does not amount to billions lost?

Now you’ve scaled it down to a collective loss of income across all companies impacted in the billions, which is at least plausible, but you can hardly blame people for treating your original statement less than seriously.
