1. More from your link

The headline guesstimate is that $75 million per hour is being lost every hour that major websites remain offline, with Amazon accounting for much (around $72 million) of those losses. That will particularly be the case right now, with reports of issues with Amazon.com spiking.

The analysis goes on to break down much it might be costing for each of the major sites hit today:

Amazon: $72,831,050 per hour
Snapchat: $611,986 per hour
Zoom: $532,580 per hour
Roblox: $411,187 per hour
Fortnite: $399,543 per hour
Canva: $342,466 per hour
Slack: $194,064 per hour
Reddit: $148,402 per hour
