A public-service anti-domain-buying manifesto with a confession counter, a $2 wall of shame, and sponsor banners.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The page combines a manifesto with lightweight participation mechanics: a confession counter, a public wall for abandoned domains, a mock registrar cart, and paid sponsor placements. Its own counters report 5,002 unused domains across 301 confessions and 2,035 reminder views in two days. The wall includes named examples such as guu.sh, submitted because its owner liked the domain hack without having a product idea, and motherhood.group, which was already registered.
