I actually sat through a pitch for downdetector. They have an enterprise product that shows historical data and trends. You have to pay per service monitored, it was wild.

Expect these to be put fully behind paywalls or some other privacy invading method to maximize value extraction. They use tools to gather outage info from all kinds of sources on social media, not their websites so they don’t rely on user reports as much as some might think.
