The community response here is actually fascinating to me.
I would have expected at least some responses pointing out that this sounds far too bad to be true, and asking what parts of the story are we missing, as has happened when other stories like this show up.
It's normal for people to make accounts to express grievances. And it's normal for a registrar bought by private equity to begin slowly enshittifying. And Porkbun is very clearly the next most popular choice, regardless of this thread. In fact, it's even been pointed out that they may be the next to enshittify - not something a shill says.
I.e shilling skepticism is not rational in this case.
