Even many non tech people have begun to associate Internet wide outages with “aws must be down” so I imagine many of them searching “is aws down” and for down detector, a hit is a down report, so it will report aws impacts even when the culprit is cloudflare in this case
interesting, maybe "AWS is down" will become the new "the server is down" that some non-tech people throw around when anything unexpected happen on their computer?
