Dude straight up had a video of his dev office in one of his games where he had an actual jug of piss next to the couch he sleeps on.
My username is a wordplay on the Linux command filesystem check: fsck.

Typical /r/programmerhumor post. Sounds like something that could be true, but once you actually know about the subject at all it’s clearly false. Upvoted like crazy because everyone there knows fuckall about programming.
I’ve worked with tons of clients that have “successfully used GoDaddy for years” while they are paying far more for a domain that nearly any other registrar, they are forced to pay for a basic SSL certificate that is free anywhere else, they are tricked into buying services that that don’t need and literally makes things worse and more difficult.
But ask someone who actually knows webdev and web hosting and you’ll hear all about the issues that are there in plain sight.
GoDaddy very simply preys on people who don’t know any better.
That’s not a good argument for GoDaddy. It just means that you and your company don’t care and are not qualified to make any claims about GoDaddy’s actual service.
The problem is they are screwing you over without you knowing about it. Just because you’re oblivious doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Yes, they make it easy to give them money, but the services they provide are horrendous when you know how they compare.
Of course, if you’re not qualified to determine how bad they are then you’re not going to see much of it. Just like if you don’t know anything about cars and your mechanic charges you way too much and for things that you don’t need, like “blinker fluid”, and you just think “oh this is fine”, that doesn’t mean that’s not an awful mechanic.
Mute the video?
There’s also this
The summary of the article isn’t even good. It buries the info in a bunch of other useless information, probably to increase word count and SEO. They could have included pictures from the video, too, but didn’t.
This blog post is worthless. A direct link to the official video announcement would be better.
Supposed to be “bolted”
Edit response:
Yes, I am salty with you like it is your decision… to provide shitty information about GoDaddy that is irrelevant to the conversation. Your company’s choice to make stupid decisions has nothing to do with how scummy GoDaddy is. But it was your decision to come here to talk about the subject and spout garbage.
