#24I guess rawgit should change its strategy: they instruct people to not link to rawgit.com but to cdn.rawgit.com when you expect heavy traffic. The thing is that you have to read their instructions, which is probably not what you see when you receive a link to them. So you share that very same link, and if you share it on HN it crosses their threshold. Maybe they could use a redirect to their cdn URLs when such thresh…
I run rawgit.com.
Actually, I've tried both approaches. Redirecting does nothing to reduce excessive traffic, because nobody notices they're doing anything wrong. The traffic just keeps coming, and I keep having to redirect it, which doesn't help me at all.
Displaying an annoying message, on the other hand, gets fast results, because _everyone_ notices and complains.
Both rawgit.com and cdn.rawgit.com are completely free (the former paid for out of my own pocket, the latter generously donated by MaxCDN). I don't think it's too much to ask that a person read the prominent instructions before using this free service.
For more background on how rawgit's abuse prevention works, read this article I wrote about a particularly painful incident: https://medium.com/the-javascript-collection/the-naughtiness...

Don't fucking run a service if you are going to hassle the people that use it.
Your medium article makes you look like even more of an asshole.

I'm sorry I hurt your feelings with my hobby.
I'd be happy to provide a full refund if you'll come out from behind that cowardly anonymous throwaway account.

I'm a bystander and a lurker. I've never heard of your "service" before now. I needed an account to post with.

When you have to put in a loop that crashes your users' browsers to stop them from "abusing" your free service -- perhaps you are doing something wrong.
Besides, what if somebody doesn't know his traffic is going to increase? It's not exactly something you can always predict. Just crash everyone's browser -- that'll show 'em!
