I'm sad to see this become practice. Playing around the javascript console is one of the "WOAH" moments I had when I was first learning to code. I remember using the Facebook "Like Bomb" during an all nighter at the library. It was a javascript snippet that would like everything on the page and annoy all your friends. Back then, I didn't consider myself a coder, and didn't think for a second I'd be doing this 4 years later. I also remember being on gTalk with a friend and he was really annoyed by a paywall he couldn't get around. It was nothing more than a popup modal, so I sent him back a couple lines of javascript that got him through the paywall. I felt like a wizard. The JS console is like peeling back a layer of the web and seeing a whole new world. Web pages stop being this thing you consume, and starts being something you manipulate and break. Anyone with experience will be able to get around this, but its sad that a lot of people might just shrug it off and not have those same experiences.
