In 28 years of domaining you see a lot, I have been on forums where people believed domain investors should be thrown off a mountain because they were sitting on a domain name they wanted. Others resorting to the traditional reverse domain name hijacking. But it seems like someone has started a Change.org petition to get a domain investor to sell them a domain name.
The company is called Devco, the petition page states:
Our organization, DevCo, is one of the fastest growing businesses in North America. To accelerate our growth, we are interested in acquiring the “Devco.com” domain. However, a villain named Dave Lahoti already has control of that site. He is notorious for sitting on domains to watch people suffer. He has refused to contact us, even after numerous outreach attempts. Please sign our petition to get show him that the world wants us to gain control of Devco.com.
When @domainretail noted this on Twitter/X Bill Sweetman had the perfect response. They don’t know who they messing with.
Apparently they also registered https://davelahotisucks.com/
Perhaps instead of spending $12 to register that domain name, that $12 would have been better spent at Amazon on How to Win Friends & Influence People (Dale Carnegie Books)
