Hold onto your keyboards, folks! Cloudflare just threw us another curveball with a brief outage that momentarily took down not just LinkedIn, but also Fortnite, Coinbase, and–wait for it–Downdetector itself. Talk about meta!
This little hiccup lasted a mere 20 minutes, but it’s the second major slip-up we’ve seen in just a few weeks. Back in November, Cloudflare’s antics even grounded X and disrupted our beloved ChatGPT, leaving us all longing for the good old days of uninterrupted internet browsing and gaming.
So, what’s the deal? Why do we keep letting these internet giants take us on this rollercoaster ride of connectivity? Grab your popcorn because it’s been a rocky month for online services everywhere.
In the age of instant access, outages are like that acquaintance who always shows up to the party uninvited; they’re annoying and cause everyone to halt their plans. Can we trust our online providers to keep things running smoothly, or are we just one Cloudflare outage away from total chaos?
And yes, I really believe that Fortnite may have been the true casualty here—losing a battle in real life while gamers were left staring at their screens. What would you do without your daily dose of battle royale?
Let’s keep an eye on these internet titans and hope they get their act together. In the meantime, how do you cope with sudden digital blackouts? Share your survival tips below!
