This content disappears after 1,000 views unless you pay $5.
But if you have seen it, what's the incentive for paying money after the fact? If you haven't seen it then it's just the same as a paywall.

What sort of issues does ab have?
Well the best thing would be to try it yourself. I have found: * ab has more results variation between runs * ab will almost always report lower performance than wrk * If you have two implementations being benchmarked, A and B and B is always faster than A. wrk will report a greater degree of performance separation between A and B. These results are less noticeable the lower performance the site being benchmarked is.

You could improve it significantly by implementing something similar to this: http://www.donothingfor2minutes.com/ Any mouse movement or keypresses would blank the page and you'd have to reload it to see the contents again. Of course, there are probably ways to subvert this, but it would stop most people.
I'm sure there are Windows and Mac equivalents, but Ubuntu has a timed screenshot option. It would be fairly easy to just set the timer, go the the website, and wait. But I agree, most people probably won't care enough or think of it.

What is ab?
I didn't know either. Per "man ab": > ab - Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool
$ whatis ab
ab (1) - Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool
Or with bsd-games installed: $ wtf ab
ab: ab (1) - Apache HTTP server benchmarking toolRe: Show HN: This page will disappear in 10,000 views

#60This is like Snapchat for the web, except it's too easy to take a screenshot of the content which means there's not much of a point to the view limit. You could make it difficult perhaps by requiring the user follow a path with their mouse, otherwise white noise appears. That way they cannot actually move their cursor to take a screenshot. Maybe do something else to occupy one of their other hands, such as pressing a…
My time is too valuable for that kind of absurd bullshit.
