Faced with a choice of either paying godaddy €37.87 in a few weeks or getting a bit of money for the domain, I've decided to let https://sowhereto.today go. Godaddy sent me an email saying there's an interested buyer who'd like to know my price. I've no idea what a site that gets hardly any traffic and earns nothing from Google's malvertising is worth, so said $100 and am awaiting the response. I've found the process of building an automated site that use openweather and openmap, along with "curling" event information from various online ticket sellers educational. Signing up for Google Ads was a really dumb idea. In exchange for fractions of cents (which never gets paid anyway), Google proceeded to completely enshitify my site to the point where it's unuseable. I've no idea what the new owner intends to do with the site, or willing to pay $100. It's academic sine I'm not going to renew the domain name anyhow. I'll probably keep the listings going one of my other hobby sites, probably https://joeblog.co.za, another site I've let Google destroy so should just let it run ad free. The thing with web publishing is it costs nothing, but also makes nothing courtesy of Google who have made an already broken market worse with AI.
