If I was the web service getting hit I'd be glad that somebody is even interested enough that I'm having this problem. I also have the wisdom to know complaining is unlikely to solve my issue. I get paid to basically solve this sort of scaling problems so I'm not a great barometer but it isn't that hard to handle a traffic spike like this.
