AWS keeps their status page up2date these days. It's probably easier to check that page than combing through posts on HN, but to each their own.

This makes me wonder... do people keep posting and looking here because they want an element of control, they don't trust or know about status.aws.amazon.com ... or why?

The status page was stating all green for about 20 or so minutes after this post was made.

Not really "up2date", so this post was valuable for everyone that was seeing errors and unsure how widespread it was.

The date on the status page is 9:50 AM PDT, the original poster posted well before that.

It isn't historically uncommon for AWS outage information to be posted and commented on here well before the status page is updated.
