Thanks for clarifying.

If true, that's a HUGE scumbag move.

It has happened to me previously also using BOTH namecheap/godaddy, back then I just shrugged it off, but this time it really pissed me off...

So I guess the best bet is to check for domains on the ACTUAL ENTITY PROVIDER who provides domain names to resellers, such as:

https://www.verisign.com/en_US/domain-names/domain-name-sear...

Plus their brainstorming feature is one of the best out there IMO.

Cool. Where can I try? I can't find the link to try this new capability anywhere?

There was a bunch of referral params also provided in the url, which makes it seem more like that it was youtube who served me this ad? via adwords?

And I'm really sorry, it's my first post on HN, I didn't want to make it look like an "undisclosed ad" of any sort, but I realise that this is EXACTLY how it looks currently...

But I cannot edit the post to remove the link or delete the post :(

Today I clicked on a random video on youtube and another tab popped up with the attached url.

This instantly made me question my sanity. Is my macbook infected with malware or has anyone else encountered this kind of behaviour??

(Reason I'm asking here, is that it's impossible to google for something like this...)

Unfortunately no. And I'm currently traveling and don't have access to one.

and It's actually a "feature" of macbooks in general, not this particular one.

I mentioned under another comment:

That A former coworker actually pointed it out to me.

"Ugghh, don't you hate it when you slide your finger across your laptop and it's giving you that buzz?"

I was like "What are you talking about? It's just the brushed aluminum feel?"

He told me to unplug the charger and try again. And Holy moly indeed the buzz stopped.

OP here (new acc, because previous one has anti-procrast enabled:)

It's not a shock, that's comparable to a static electricity discharge, when touching a door handle for example.

And the "shock" I feel when I partially touch my laptop, is comparable to someone constantly pulling on one strand of your body hairs. It's a constant pain that happens when You baaarely come in to contact with the laptop with for example Your forearm (the skin on the palms is too thick to feel it)

It's actually a common theme with macbooks. A former coworker actually pointed it out to me.
