Cute, but

Comcast was 5 days ago

GCP was 4 days ago

Facebook was 13 days ago

Robinhood was 7 days ago (and seriously strains "a major cryptocurrency service." it's a retail stock trading platform that happens to trade crypto.)

The card is for all of November '21

Yup! Cards are monthly (and created manually so we can adjusted based on previous months of outages/breaches)

Robinhood probably still earns more than half of its transaction based revenue from crypto, with the rest being options and stocks. I think it actually does qualify as a major cryptocurrency service.

That 50% of Robinhoods revenue comes from crypto does not make Robinhood a major service in the cryptocurrency space. Could be that they have way higher margins on cryptocurrency, that cryptocurrency fans spend more or anything else. But compared to other exchanges or trading platforms in cryptocurrency, Robinhood is basically non-existing.

Robinhood was one that we (me + friends) were a bit on the fence about, since it does -- as you say -- get really close to the edge, but it seemed close-enough.

GCP was today actually.

There was a GCP outage a few days ago, which is what Outage Bingo has linked. It sadly doesn't currently support multi-links per-card.

It used to have outages all the time. It still does but it used to too
