Comment on Namecheap $0.98 com/net per year coupon

Comments

They lost me at the word Twitter.

So why did I get downvoted? Are people honestly comfortable with companies strong-arming them into crowd-sourced social media advertising? I was under the impression from numerous posts on this website this is exactly the demographic that is repulsed by this type of activity.

I also have a Namecheap account. I am a happy customer. But this, in conjunction with their attempt at FB/Twitter anti-CISPA campaigned, left a bitter taste in my mouth.

You're not getting strong-armed.

I think it's like this:

They are purchasing a social media campaign by paying each twitter re-tweeter $(DOMAIN_PRICE_FOR_DOT_COM - 0.98), out of which of them will not claim their payment.

And I am simply recommending a good service, the one I use and like, to my followers. Without being strong-armed.
