Why are you using godaddy in the first place? It's not like they aren't universally reviled for many good reasons. You deserve what you get for not educating yourself about what a terrible company they are and voting with your feet.
You might as well be complaining that you're surprised Larry Ellison isn't looking out for your best interests, David Miscavige tried to brainwash you, Donald Trump didn't tell you the truth, and Rick James ground his muddy cowboy boots all over your suede couch.
I don't think victims ever "deserve what they get". Yes, he's responsible for the outcome. But outfits like GoDaddy exist because they're good enough at advertising and PR to fool the novice. People can't be experts in everything.
Blame should stick to the bad actor, not the people they sucker.
>But you don't have to be an expert to conduct a web search.
And if you don't know how to conduct a web search, you shouldn't be building a web site.
>... placing just a little blame on the people who don't engage in even the bare minimum of research
And GoDaddy's uncritical customers tend to be the kind of people who are easily influenced instead of permanently repelled by the kind of commercials GoDaddy is infamous for running.
You might as well be complaining that you're surprised Larry Ellison isn't looking out for your best interests, David Miscavige tried to brainwash you, Donald Trump didn't tell you the truth, and Rick James ground his muddy cowboy boots all over your suede couch.
