Probably people flooding in to see if anyone knows why things are down. Even Google speed test was down, presumably from too many people testing if it's their internet that's at issue.

The site is working fine for me. Speedtest CLI also is useful but doubt when DNS is down.

I'd guess that automatic processes dominate. Maybe billions of phone apps polling for facebook connectivity (FB messenger is down, for example).
