Web Services issues, Reddit is curiously seeing a spike in reports of problems
from utilizers.

BST – when other sites started receiveting repaired – with most flagging problems
affecting its app.
According to Reddit’s service status page, the company’s
infrastructure is currently experiencing “degraded performance”.
“We’re experiencing an elevated level of errors and are
currently viewing into the issue,” it declares, external.
Some attempting to visit the platform’s subreddits have been met
with a notice declareing it is experiencing “too many requests”.
Quite why Reddit is seeing problems now when other platforms
are being repaired is unclear. It is unknown if this is linked to the Amazon
outage, or if it is unrelated.
