Has HN become slow due to the amount of people checking about Google's outage?

Is it just me or HN has become extremely slower in the last 15 mins? My guess: people want to find out what's going on with Google's outage since they can't rely on official sources.

Hopefully one of the necessary wake up calls for people to realize the centralized monopoly problem.

In the meanwhile, I hear there are problems in GCP too. This week, AWS is smiling while eating popcorn at this as Ubuntu did with CentOS' news.

They don't seem to be checking the front-page before submitting the 50th "Google is down!" post
