And given the "rules" can change from year to year as the masters of .XXX find new ways to squeeze money out of us, the more you invest in one of these domains, the more your lips are attached to their nutsacks and their hands are wrapped around your throat. But you think "clever marketing" is a counter force?

Do you think they will change it every year or two?
We're in porn and they will fuck us anyway they want. And we have to cope with it.
We have no influence, no voice and no collective body to represent us. That's the way we wanted it. That's the way it is.
We sent traffic to scammers and still do, we put up sites that were crap and we even put up sites that if they were sold offline would get people jailed.
The more money they squeeze out, the more the weak will fall away and the more customers the strong will pick up.
This is a done deal, crying over spilt milk isn't going to make any difference.
ICANN have a monopoly on this, they're not listening and they don't care.
They make the rules. If you want it changed organise a lobby group. Until then.
their game, their rules.
Just like every other business.
It's never going to be, your game, your rules.
