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.

Because you want other people to read it.

I don't want to subsidize other people's consumption of content.

I want to pay for what I use; everyone else can do the same.

select, copy, paste, share (copyright violation), the end. It's kind of not OK to distribute other people's work when they don't want you to.

Your users will still do it, and you won't be able to stop them.

Right. I'm just saying it's not a strategy to advocate.

I didn't know either. Per "man ab": > ab - Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool

Without having to open the man page: $ whatis ab ab (1) - Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool Or with bsd-games installed: $ wtf ab ab: ab (1) - Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool

Is there a similar tool to see what a certain option in a command does, without opening the man page?

How is this a good thing? You want users to visit a promo page, where they're forced to retweet the content before getting access? This sounds awfully familiar to those sites that ask you to share a referral link with 10 friends, or complete a survey before receiving a free gift that doesn't exist. Also reminds me of the days of browsing warez online. Click these three links to vote for us on Top 100 sites, then you'…

It could be useful if done right. >> "before receiving a free gift that doesn't exist" Presumably if this was done by someone like Coca-Cola you would receive something for sharing the page. The spam problem could be improved by asking them to tweet their own content + link rather than a predefined message. e.g. Tweet your favourite thing about [brand] and get [reward]. And the tweet would be [your message] + link. T…

This shit has been done before and it's never useful, it's fucking spam.

Kinda feel like a jerk on this one.

Are you in the habit of running load tests on other people's websites without warning? Remind me to never tell you when I'm working on something.
