I made a terrible game where you have to guess which bad domain name is more expensive: https://domain-pricing.glitch.me/
Domain Name Pricing Game

@mewo2 this is clearly a failure of the free market
@mewo2 wow this one was mean

@mewo2 I got 15/20 - reasonably pleased with that.

I enjoyed "WHY AM I STILL DOING THIS" a lot XD

@clinkingdog @mewo2 for me the answer was "because i want to do at least as good as chance"
(Of course, infact i still did worse than chance. Because waiting for break-even selects random deviation chance would have anyway..)
@mewo2 This is great. What is the data source for these prices?
@xuv Scraped from https://instantdomainsearch.com/ using random search terms

@mewo2 Oh, it looked hard coded in Glitch.
@xuv Oh yeah, it is. I scraped offline and put a list of 30k or so domains in there as a static file.
@whoisgina They know what the people want
@mewo2 @whoisgina
earthearth . com

please
the first one wasn't worth it
@mewo2 I'm terrible at this...
@mewo2 this is surprisingly fun
@mewo2
could you move the bottom text down a little bit please? im playing on my phone and sometimes cant hit the continue/more/try again button bc its blocked by the text
@mewo2 I’ve never understood what glitch is for but now I see the light
@mewo2 @rixx that’s interesting. Statistically you should be at 50% if doing random selections, i always come out at 75% wrong answers... seems i don’t really get it 😀
