    It’s entirely possible that they’ve made some assumptions about what a “normal” level of traffic looks like when writing code for their backend, which has caused some things to break when that has changed.

    Not our fault if their code is shit.

        Honestly, it’s probably not - if I’m actually right this is likely an issue that Reddit’s engineers never predicted would happen so never planned for it. I was being hyperbolic.

        It’s not reactive. A proper reactive system can handle fluctuations in usage patterns more robustly.
