Thought I should point something out. Followgen seems to be a favorite-spam service.
Someone posted an article a few days ago about how to do this yourself and was slammed pretty hard for the technique (though I tried to defend it a bit): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6147210 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6147210
>Basically their attitude towards paying for my software was "fuck that". But obviously gamers are willing to spend on some software (like Steam).
I think you're conflating "gamers" with 13 year old boys who play too much xbox. They probably pirate all their PC software.
This was interesting, but I would have liked a little more detail. I didn't understand how they were abusing the system until the screenshot and then it was over. How much damage did they do initially? How effective was the blocking?
- mkrecny 13y agoI fail to see how that's relevant.
- jere 13y agoThat article came up recently and someone linked to your service in the comments. I think it's clearly relevant.
- sourthyme 13y agoDo you need help? I feel that blocking all "gamers" might be a hard decision. Maybe there are better solutions, especially if your service is to advertise to a large audience.
- 59nadir 13y ago> This was interesting, but I would have liked a little more detail. While I agree that detail would be nice, but I think what's actually needed is a semblance of some actual analysis. There's nothing about this article that actually helps with, well, anything. There's nothing to learn or have a real discussion about. It's very telling that most of the comments here are about how devoid of content the article is. Anything for visitors, I guess.
