And yet, redditstatus.com says all systems operational. How can that be? Who is watching the watcher?

Now it says "elevated error rate on many frontends." I guess the web/browser is one of many frontends

Very few of these public status pages are tied directly to the metrics. They get updated when an internal incident has been created, triaged, and a comms person has put together the status message to communicate.

I mean, think about it, would you want something like this to create a massive "all endpoints down" incident when you have a metrics pipeline issue? For a public company with shareholders?
