Is the pre-2018 data actually accurate? There seem to have been a number of outages before then: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1545696000&dateRange=custom&...

Maybe that's just the date when they started tracking uptime using this sytem?

Data comes from the official status page. It may be more a marketing/communication page than an observability page (especially before selling)

The status page was often down when GH was down, back in the days.

I could imagine a leadership or viewpoint change in how they reported when/what was down.

I've seen so many times where Company A will complain that their vendors aren't accurate enough about uptime and how Company A notices first that their vendors are down, but then they themselves have a very laggy or inaccurate status page.

We want our vendors to be accurate to the minute on these, but many CTOs don't care to admit when they too have problems.
