Browserling goes viral with cheap phone users trying to use WhatsApp
I&#x27;m amazed how positive reaction this article gets on HN. This guy is an asshole!<p>It starts with author calling his users &quot;fools&quot; for not randomizing useragent (while he himself is a fool for not using useragent correct way - to know what hardware&#x2F;software accesses his service). Then he goes super happy &quot;hah, great, let them crash competitor websites&quot;. Then he realize &quot;This is the biggest opportunity ever!&quot;. He tries to sell his service for small amount of $1 per day for using free WhatsApp. &quot;I had no idea how much money Indian users spent on online services.&quot; Quick google search reveals that daily wage labour gets 2-3 $&#x2F;day.<p>What he does next? 
He sends his users to promote his website at social media. Follow and tweet about my service and I will allow you to use my service - he promises, except it is not a payment method - it&#x27;s a lie. But free advertisment is not enough for this guy. It&#x27;s &quot;his biggest opportunity ever&quot;! He sends his army to &quot;troll my competitors&quot;. &quot;That was super hilarious. I was literally rolling on the floor laughing.&quot;<p>&quot;users would tweet, follow, like, and do anything I tell them to get access to Browserling&quot; except he didn&#x27;t let them access Browserling. They are just numbers for him, a viral mob that will do whatever their god tell them to do. And as a god, he doesn&#x27;t care about his promises. Well, he could, but it&#x27;s too much work and there are more interesting things to do for him.<p>His final solution - more lies and unethical behaviors.
&quot;Increase your chances in lottery by promoting my service&quot; - chance does not change
Depending on your luck, the same amount of money will give you day, week or month of a service.<p>This guy is an asshole, his behaviour is unethical and wrong. I can&#x27;t believe it gets positive feedback here.
