Don't like these articles as I see them as low hanging fruit to make a headline. People see it and think OH NO HE LOST 6 BILLION? Where the reality is a more complex than that.

What I really want to know is how much did Facebook lose in advertising. How much did that outage cost?

Does anybody remember this little piece of advice: “don’t covet your neighbor’s goods?” I guess that’s old school now.
