Looking at that domain… I think you mean “pornographer” or “orgy facilitator”

I can understand his frustration. Back when it was a fairly fresh idea, I wanted to get mylastname.com, only to find somebody else with my last name was using it for a few dancing banana gifs. But my cousins refused to help me out.

You got me curious, so I had to take a look.

It screams “douchey” and seeing it made my Monday just that much sadder.

Lorathio? If that wasn’t something he chose for himself, I confess to significantly increased sympathy.

I have to say, I’m not terribly bothered by internet “influencers”. It’s the idea of internet “influencees” that turns my stomach.

You can always just use .net, .org, or hundreds of other domains. I guess the SEO class forgot to teach that part…

“State Snaps” immediately made me think of whimsical ginger biscuits in the shape of US states. Alas, a quick look at Google does not suggest anyone has come up with a clever moniker for such things.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a domain name the bad guy wants who takes the bad guy’s gun.
