Let's say I noticed a lot of people in my neighborhood don't have fresh apples.

I own an apple farm, so I don't mind leaving out a few apples boxed up and ready to go. For sake of argument, just assume that these apples are fine but by the time they could be transported for sale they wouldn't be fresh.

For the first two years of doing this, most people would come and pick up a couple of apples and then go home. In the last two months Jimbo pulls up a truck and dumps as many apples as possible into the back and drives off.

Eventually I'm going to have to tell Jimbo to stop doing this or at least charge a fee for each apple. Otherwise Jim is the only one who gets any.

So the apples in this metaphor are...page views? Server responses?
