Most companies prefer to fix any downtime before it's noticed, and sharing any details on a status page means admitting something went wrong.

There's plenty of status page solutions that tie in uptime monitoring with status updates, essentially providing a "if we get an alert, anyone can follow along through the status page" for near real-time updates. But, it means showing _all_ users that something went wrong, when maybe only a handful noticed it in the first place.

It's a flawed tactic to try and hide/dismiss any downtime (people will notice), but it's in our human nature to try and hide the bad things?
