It really is a great illustration of how dumb people can be in mobs. Now there is a hoard of redditors running around screaming at the top of their lungs, "Did you see the evil Namecheap stole that domain from that guy".
Meanwhile, no critical thinking is happening, they just accept it, and will pass the 'news' on to others. The others won't look into at all, and by next week it will be a 'truth' that Namecheap 'steals' domains.
- ziml77 6y agoThis is exactly what I'm afraid of. I have no specific love for namecheap (I can't even remember if I've ever used them) but I don't want to see their name dragged through the mud. Shit like this is the downside of giving everyone a soapbox and a megaphone. There's no easy answer on how to stop misinformation.
