I stopped using GoDaddy because it seemed like they would squat the domains I'd search for, find, not buy immediately, and then come back to buy a day or two later. Maybe there's some innocent explanation of the behavior, but as a consumer the experience sure felt malicious. I wound up switching to NameCheap after that.
It would be such a bummer if my brain wasn't just finding patterns that didn't really exist in the noise of consumerism and NameCheap started taking on dark patterns like this. Vetting and switching registrars is a headache.
