A little while ago I was looking for a domain for a project. I spent like 12 hour straight trying out different names. Not a single one was actually being used! Almost all of them were domains for sale (average price like 10K). A bunch of them were registered but server didn't respond. One was a blank page. And one was a company intranet.

I guess those last two are actually being used for something. But it kind of bothered me you know. Like if someone bought all the land in your city and then just left it empty. (Actually that sounds kind of nice... Bad example :)

I mean, Im probably never going to bookmark a netlify url. A domain cost $3.00.

If someone doesnt care enough to invest $3.00 in their project I'm not going to use it.

On more than one occasion a friend has sent me a netlify link asking for my opinion on a business or product and Ive replied that its a throwaway project.
