I'm looking at the daily drop list as I have done for many years, and as always, it's 99% garbage.
By garbage, I don't mean ill advised business names, or a domain name obvious for a cat or for an odd opinion blog, but absolute garbage. I mean tens of thousands of domains, EVERY day, that are a near random combination of letters and numbers, sometimes with a random word embedded, and sometimes just 2 or 3 completely random words that have no meaning together.
This has been happening for almost 2 decades, so it's not some sort of mistake, in fact I notice many of the "owners" used privacy protection.
So what is going on? Do 99% of domain buyer have Torrett's Syndrome or something? OR... as is usually the case when sales figures exceed reasonable explanation - money laundering is taking place, or sales figures are "pumped" in order to defraud potential investors or stockholders.
Anyone else have an explanation?
