Browserling goes viral with cheap phone users trying to use WhatsApp
I'm amazed how positive reaction this article gets on HN. This guy is an asshole!<p>It starts with author calling his users "fools" for not randomizing useragent (while he himself is a fool for not using useragent correct way - to know what hardware/software accesses his service). Then he goes super happy "hah, great, let them crash competitor websites". Then he realize "This is the biggest opportunity ever!". He tries to sell his service for small amount of $1 per day for using free WhatsApp. "I had no idea how much money Indian users spent on online services." Quick google search reveals that daily wage labour gets 2-3 $/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's a lie. But free advertisment is not enough for this guy. It's "his biggest opportunity ever"! He sends his army to "troll my competitors". "That was super hilarious. I was literally rolling on the floor laughing."<p>"users would tweet, follow, like, and do anything I tell them to get access to Browserling" except he didn'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't care about his promises. Well, he could, but it's too much work and there are more interesting things to do for him.<p>His final solution - more lies and unethical behaviors.
"Increase your chances in lottery by promoting my service" - 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't believe it gets positive feedback here.
