Anal sex defines lesbianism? You might need to calm down, buddy. The gays aren't coming for you.

If they get you on the phone, they can tag you as a mark and upsell you.
That would explain it, indeed... But that's a pretty dark pattern, isn't it? Do you happen to have some confirmation that they do it in that intent? Also, if this is the case, why don't we see more people complaining (here for example)?
Because the victim would not be here (I'm trying to compliment you, here!).

I wish that commenters on the Internet generally, and HN in particular, would lay off "murder and jaywalking" arguments. If Gandi advertised with lewds, well. People would complain and they would probably stop. The "scummy actions and questionable security practices" are both necessary and sufficient to persuade the informed reader not to patronize their services. Bringing in additional minor peccadillos weakens the…
To me, using women to sell a product reeks of a bygone era and a certain mentality we’re working to get away from. I think that alone is a perfectly acceptable reason to think a company sucks and not use their product. Voting for behaviors with your dollars is important.
While this is of course reductive, my counterexample is cosmetics and women's fashion generally, I'm happy to agree where internet services are concerned.

Ive had the COO call me personally on a sunday before to iron stuff out. That's not true.
How many domains do you have with them/what's your monthly spend? I suspect this varies wildly.
I have purchased a hundred or so since I got with them almost 10 years ago, but keep about an average of 5-10 at any given time. Monthly spend is minimal, I pay for 2yr+ up front.

My apologies dang. I'll flag in the future.
Re: GoDaddy locks out derivatives of Chrome
#188User agent discrimination will never make sense to me. It's such a trivial thing to work around too. Are there legitimate use cases for describing yourself to the web, or could we all just hard-code the bullshit magic string chrome uses and be done with it? Ad tech is the only reason I believe this garbage continues. Maybe we can hope and pray for some kind of regulatory relief on the horizon. Alternatively, we can s…
I've never understood why browser fingerprinting is so easy. Your browser gives up so much information and it seems entirely unnecessary for it to be providing such unique values. I would have hoped Firefox would have done more to eliminate this problem. They do have a resist-fingerprinting-option but it both breaks sites and also still doesn't pass any of the online fingerprinting test sites.

A particularly egregious example is "Tell HN: Never search for domains on Godaddy.com" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24506303
uh, but I see there is a clear response cited there, too https://www.godaddy.com/garage/godaddy-felons-io-unregistere... anything else?
Re: GoDaddy locks out derivatives of Chrome
#190Speaking of registars, what does HN recommend? I was a happy namecheap user until they decided to go all political against Russian citizens. I am unsure as to what service I should migrate to.
Google Domains is pretty no-frills. My only worry is if they randomly decide to nuke my Google account, as they are want to do to people sometimes, what happens to my domains.
google domains sounds like an awful, awful idea for the exact reason you stated.
