Welp, looks like it’s time to spin up a new Downdetector as that one is about to be enshittified
> The deal, which will transfer all of Ziff Davis’s Connectivity division to Accenture, includes Ookla’s Speedtest, Ekahau, and RootMetrics
Part of a package deal, makes sense because it would be crazy for a website that is literally just „this website is down for me, if it’s down for you as well, press this button“ to be worth $1.2 billion alone.
Accenture is enshitification personified
We paid Accenture a ton of money to write some salesforce checkout functionality. They delivered it in such bad shape it could take up to 5 minutes for a b2b checkout quote to generate, with tons of documentation on what they did, but none on why they did it.
Awful waste of money.
I take it they didnt get downdetectorsdowndetector or downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector?
Downdetector is worth 1.2B… Sorry, what?
Awful company
By far the worst IT consultant group I’ve dealt with.
Maybe I need to turn damninternet.com into something. Finally.
Terrible, awful, misleading headline
holy smoke this site will go to absolute shit. It was a trusted site and I wanted a great company to buy them up. But not Acceture. Maybe the plan is to sell them to Paramount+
Fucking nuts that site is somehow worth over a billion dollars.
Anything Accenture manages will be very prominent on Downdetector. Makes sense they want to suppress that.
Had no idea they acquired Ekahau. They are worth a chunk of change.
I don’t know how I feel about this
