I’d love $myhandle.sucks but alas the domain registrar decided to charge extortion rates in the hopes that large companies register their own domain to prevent hate sites >_>

Incidentally, if the $185,000 you're about to spend on a new gTLD registration is bringing you down, you could use the money to register icann.sucks instead:

Turnabout is, I suppose, fair play.

Funnily enough, I tried to check dotsucks.sucks…they’ve thought through that already.

You can save $175,000 of that by generalizing and getting internet.sucks instead. A bargain!

Isn't that strategy self defeating though? If the domains cost so much who is going to buy them just for a hate site?

$HUGECO can and likely will still buy it as an insurance policy against the costs ever dropping to the point that mortals might afford it.
