I acquired a desired domain this way. I kept silent about it on any service that might detect my interest in it and hold it hostage. For about 3 months, I checked the whois weekly. Some company was holding it. I never visited the domain in any way, to help the domain feel dead to their analytics. Then one day, the whois result matched what you get from whois-ing a bunch of random letters with .com. It was finally released. I registered it from a company like namesilo or porkbun for the standard .com price.
