I think a ton of people switched during the whole SOPA thing, besides the bad services. You know what, this reminds of that South Park episode where that big box retailer moves in, grows so big, everyone burns it down to the ground and sings kumbaya together, and starts supporting a local retailer instead. The local retailer becomes so successful that it grows and grows until it's as big and evil as the old big box retailer. Then they all burn it down again and sing kumbaya again. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if one day namecheap also eventually turned rotten in eyes of the HN crowd. I'm not predicting that it will happen, I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised.


There is a significant difference in that Go Daddy has specifically engaged in bad business practices, whereas namecheap appear to care about not doing that, so it's not so much about size as behaviour.


I think he was implying that there is a correlation between size and evilness and that if namecheap grows too large, it could potentially turn evil.
