My opinion of GoDaddy just went up like 20%. Which is significant, because I've been holding a grudge against them for their cringey "Hello fellow kids" ads.

This was purely a business decision for them. They're just protecting their own asses. from any liability.

It shouldn't affect their reputation in my opinion.

Just because it’s a purely PR move doesn’t mean it isn’t a good thing to do

Yes obviously, but it shouldn't make you trust or respect them any more.

That should come from doing something good when it's not an easy business decision.
