I've always been curious as to why .us isn't popular among the US tech companies. The only exception I know of is zoom.us.

I'm so glad that as an individual I didn't use a number that was important when registering .us. To everyone else, take this as a warning!

Given that .us doesn't allow privacy, there's apparently a huge market for web designers and the like to watch registrations and use this as a 'lead generator'.

I have never received as much spam as I did after registering two .us domains. Thankfully, I used a number I can safely ignore

Makes me glad that the .ca tld allows keeping the registrants info private

Consider me envious!

It truly should be enough that the registrar can get a hold of me
