Good point. the value is certainly there in that aspect. The me too's probably end up helping more than I've realized now that I think about it also.

I see downdetector as just another tool, along with the list. One's going to be from a user perspective and one from a operational/engineering perspective (usually - sometimes idiots like me can't help but do a dumb joke). Both are very valuable. It's up to us to interpret the results. Sometimes there is a lot of "me too" on the list, but that's valuable too, right? -- Mike McClure | CCIE / CISSP | Principal Network Engineer | Peak Performance IT (913) 295-9464 CLICK HERE FOR HELP<https://www.peakperformanceit.com/i-need-help.html> On Tue, Mar 22, 2022 at 5:14 PM TJ Martineau <tj.martineau@finigree.com<mailto:tj.martineau@finigree.com>> wrote: Forwarding to discussions.... to slightly vent. That's the issue I always have with downdetector, any site that doesn't load or has any issue can be reported which isn't always a decent gauge of an outage imo, but some of the comments are definitely worth the visit. That's why I joined this group, to get the notices and traces from legit (somewhat 😂) people who are in the trenches like myself. Am I alone in thinking this?
