Chris may have done what was best for him financially, but it was to the detriment of everyone else in this industry he claimed to love and be behind. Chris was definitely not public and upfront, he made several posts and threads regarding .xxx to feel everyone out after he knew he was going to take the position, yet never revealed his true intentions. Even when someone started a thread revealing his .xxx hiring, he immediately tried to have the thread starter banned, called him a liar and denied everything. A couple days later when .xxx announced his hiring in a press release, it caught Chris by surprise and instead of coming here and trying to articulately explain his position, he went on a barrage of juvenile posting rubbing our noses in it.
3 weeks later he ends up getting fired and then prances back to gfy as if everything is cool. Of course he acts like it was no big deal because he did it for the money and thinks he's back tight with all his show bros.

That's a very good summary of the events and I think the feelings are shared by many.
To Chris,
I don't want xxx because I feel it's threatening to my business model. I run a number of sites and have this as a small part time gig, any money earned is extra. By keeping costs low, I simply earn more. Anything which messes with my traffic, rankings, or finances is for obvoius reasons seen as a threat. I would not benefit in any one way by paying $65 or more for my domains. Some of my smallest sites might barely even be profitable after adding in hosting costs.
How do you think they can afford to pay you that much money you claim they did? Right, it gotta come from somewhere. And I guess you're not the only one on their payment list who'd make a good salary. Which is one reason the domains are so expensive. You took the gig because you needed money, the pay was good enough, but that puts financial burden on everyone else and you don't care - because, well, you wanted to come back to doing over 100k per year.
For that very reason, I have made it clear before and I'm glad to do it again, I will not buy from Traffic Shop as long as you're there. There are other providers and I do well enough with their traffic. Thanks for playing, but this time, you lost.
