Yep. The custom TLD thing is an abomination. Many of us said at the time that we'd get the proliferation of stupid that you highlight. ICANN said it wouldn't happen, because economics or good faith or something. Who was right?

The "anything marketing people touch will almost-instantly turn to shit" theory still hasn't been disproved.
Marketing people actually know & plan for this. Check out this blog post about "The Lifecycle of Lead Generation Channels" [0].
It basically says, that any given channel starts out small and high-quality, so engaging is easy and credible. As it grows marketers have to be smarter and larger to stand out. Read it as a consumer, and they're basically talking about a scorched-earth loudness war for your attention.
