Reddit was down for over two hours

Steam is worse - weekly "maintenance" on Tuesday evening, where everyone is disconnected for ~10-20 minutes. It's common knowledge not to play at that time if the game uses Steam networking, otherwise you'll be kicked mid-session with a "Lost connection to Steam" error message and lose all your progress.

And yes, this is happening in 2019.

I remember that from 15 years ago, would have thought they had enough time to fix it since then.

At least it’s scheduled so you can schedule around it
