Ok computer techs, what say you?

Holy fuck. I do know large social media companies have gone down before, but considering your report here, I have never heard of it taking that long to fix the problem 

It is funny, but my local cable company is famous for having outages, mostly brief, but just about every month, or every other month. Proof that just because you run or own a big company, you are not immune to disruptions. 

I cannot tell you how many times since 07 since I have lived in this location, where I am at now, that my cable and internet suddenly craps out, and then I call in wondering if I paid my bill on time.

See, there's the difference.  You are comparing local service provides with a worldwide one.

Monopolies are not a good thing and this is one example. My county cable company is also a monopoly, it is just smaller. But the model mindset big or small is the same. 

The only difference between an outage or shortage between big and small companies is size, but the outcome in disruption of services is the same. Anti monopoly laws which we have gotten away from, has allowed for the chase for the buck over quality.
