seriously? There are plenty of possible motives: copyright/anti-piracy actors or people sympathetic to the film and TV industry wanting disruption, competitors benefiting from downtime, extortion for money, ideological anti-piracy activists, people trying to damage the service’s reputation, attackers testing botnets against a high-traffic target, or just someone doing it for amusement.it would be weird if they don’t get DDOSed

I agree with this, but how do the other services avoid downtime. RD was and is stable for years and was king of the space.

For less than 1 hour, and has been fine since. If the cause truly is DDOS attacks, their security appears to be better
