I agree that this is bad but I'd encourage you to rethink your comment. The "clown engineers" you are calling out maintain a level of uptime and scale thats hard to for most people to imagine. You don't do that by being an idiot.

Instead of calling them names and assuming bad intent, maybe take a second to think about how much it must suck for them right now. I'm sure it's all hands on deck nights/weekends to fix. No one sets out to do a bad job in my experience.

You're right. I have removed the "clown" part, because after submitting my comment it left an itch in me, too. I think I have seen too much bad press about GoDaddy that "simple" things like this just bring out the worst in me. Thanks for pointing that out.

We all do it. I say stuff in the heat of the moment too. I appreciate your willingness to change the wording. Very "un HN like" lolol! :)

Godaddy has the most user-hostile platform of any domain registration company I've ever encountered in the 25+ years I've been registering domains. It's utter garbage in every way.

I agree that there are a lot of dark patterns. Thats probably more the product and marketing team though wouldn't you agree?
