For the same reason there's a .sucks TLD. There's a market for it.

So windows.sucks and linux.sucks are available and 2000 USD/year, emacs.sucks is 200 USD/year and vi.sucks is already registered (but no website unfortunately)!

On the other hand linux.rocks and windows.rocks are taken (no website), vi.rocks is 200 USD/year and emacs.rocks is just 14 USD/year.

microsoft.sucks redirects to microsoft.com, but microsoft.rocks is just taken :thinking:

Pretty sure there's a domain monitoring service for similarly or something along these lines that buys up domains like these to prevent usage.

On that note, I've been trying to see if GoDaddy will buy a domain and resell for higher price by searching for some plausibly nice domain names on their site. They haven't took the "bait" yet.
