I don't think outages are more common as such, but we pay more attention to them since we live in mobile phones nowadays.
There has been a lot of contralization of web servers into 3rd party CDNs like Akamai and Cloudflare, probably more than is truly needed by smaller actors who instead just need to fix their crappy DB access patterns and rid themselves of all the tracking js, but that in and of itself doesnt mean more outages...just a larger blast radius when an outage does happen.
I suspect this is a typo, but it really should be a thing :)
YouTube is working fine here, and I can't remember YouTube ever being down.

Even YouTube goes down. Good reminder for us mere cyber mortals with our total customer base of 100ks and not millions. Nobodys perfect!
I was just about to research 1:60 scale mapmaking for my rpg campaign since I was going to adapt a modern day map hidden as a fantasy map, and boom, shes dead Jim.
There have been outages since time immemorial. And there were no LLMs then and we have no evidence that they are using LLMs necessarily or that this was caused by an LLM or even that this is not just a free occurrence.
I’m all on the AI hate train, but I think being correct and drawing correct conclusions based on evidence is more important
