Meaningless without proper historical context (last year's numbers).

All-in-all, to me it looks like GoDaddy has slightly benefited from the negative press, as far as overall domain registrations go.

Go figure!

But it kind of makes sense considering that the domain business is the "I don't give a fuck as long as I save $1" type of market headspace.

I don't think the "I don't give a fuck as long as I save $1" mindset is limited to just the domain business. In America, look at the proliferation of Walmart and Winco (just to name a couple). Their service is crap and everything they sell is of low quality. However, they are still in business because _many_ only care about saving a few bucks.

I know it's cool to hate on walmart and all, but the people are nice to me, and my Mr. Coffee Keurig machine that I purchased from them appears to be the exact same model that's on Amazon, and I got it for less than Amazon. Go figure.

One thing I do not buy from Walmart, however, are fresh fruits, veggies and meats. Better quality comes from different sources.

Actually, Walmart has improved their produce offering over the last few years. They now source their fruits and vegetables from some of the same farms as Whole Foods (at least, their organics).
