Show HN: Loadmill – Run Load Tests with Real Crowdsourced Traffic

Great idea, the sample of random users will probably be a lot more representative of actual traffic than the usual load tests!

Are the users of the affiliate websites aware of what is happening though?

From an ethical point of view I think this is no different than ads, so it's fine. Ads however are self-evident, so if I don't approve of them I can avoid the website in question.

Thanks!

Yeah, our affiliates get a visible iframe to embed in their website, and that is their responsibility to communicate this to their visitors (they can also do it in other ways).

This should work really well blogs and websites who want to avoid ads and look for alternative monetization models.
