1 Years years ago when I was learning web development I bought a TLD and just copy-pasted Amazon’s log in page to just check how it works. Amazon somehow found out about this and Google punished that TLD after that incident and it just couldn’t go up in rankings after that.

If I remember correctly they had even put that TLD on sites that report/list “phishing” sites so if you Googled about that TLD you would also get the “they are fraud” results.

2 I think that most pro users just New-Tab everything and go from there. Seems to me that going in n out search results all in one tab is kind of slow too.

Pretty simple to find out by logging the referring site that is requesting assets from your server. I used to do this all the time about a decade ago when it was common practice to steal entire site designs.

My favourite moment was when we changed a picture that someone was hot linking to as part of their own website and they emailed us with a rant saying "how dare you change the image"

I think you mean domain, not tld.

Tld is the last part of the domain, the .com, .eu, .in, ...

You bought a TLD when learning web development? That seems extreme.

[jwilk]

Rookie mistake. They wanted just a domain, but accidentally the whole TLD.

This must be sarcasm.

[trowway21]

This is certainly sarcasm.

Yesterday I was learning about processors, so I bought a foundry.

Doesn't everyone do this?

[gammatrigono]

Misread "TLD" as "domain." Whoops.

[ummonk]

You meant domain name, not TLD, right?

Uhh no, I created a country and ICANN assigned me a two-letter TLD. Was this not a part of your webdev bootcamp?
