I guess this is applicable to any social media platform or other similar systems. Is it because there are always bugs to address, so it’s never really running smoothly, or other reasons?

In my experience with IT, it’s rare to have a completely uneventful day.
– Hardware goes down
– Networks stop responding
– Software becomes obsolete
– Operating Systems need to be patched
There are certain things that you’ll be able to keep working for a while. Then it gets to a point where other employees can find a workaround without having to get to the guts of the server room….
But at some point the work around a create a drain on productivity, then just stop working altogether.
Sometimes things can be fixed just by doing a reboot, but that’s not always easy.
I work for a small company with less than 100 office workers, and doing a complete reboot can easily take 30 minutes.
Some things will automatically start working again, others you’ll have to manually log into a part of the system and force things to start back up.
Plus, a system is only as reliable as its least experience user…. people open e-mails with viruses, leave passwords unsecured, forget passwords…. With an average user running things on autopilot, things break very easy.
