Am I the only one who found this incredibly uninformative and sensationalist? Their 'special device', just a wireless proxy, measured 350,000 requests, which to someone who doesn't know how many dozens of requests loading an average webpage would make, might be frightening. Every level you win on Candy Crush, and every profile picture loaded on Facebook would be a request. The number of requests mean nothing. I'm going to stop myself from continuing to rant because there's too much to be said about this video. Their aim seems to be to frighten, not inform, people.
