  This was my suspicion too, regardless aws issues will have a knock on effect with a lot of companies anyway.

  Is downdetector reliable at all? I feel every time something is down, a lot of unrelated sites also are reported as having problems. E.g. at the moment it reports AWS, GCP, Azure, Cloudflare and Facebook among others having issues.

    downdetector just uses search trends from google and twitter and other social apps, its definitely not checking if the site is 'down' on its own.

      How do they know what people are searching? I've never seen an api for that

It merely looks at mentions on Twitter of people saying something is down. That includes incorrect speculation. And it even amplifies that speculation recursively. It’s reliably wrong, by design.
