Ok fair point about the money aspect
I still think giving some of the best domains away to the biggest companies could have worked out better for them than their current strategy.
You're right that big companies don't need $100 handouts but if I had a massive site in adult and .xxx approached me saying they'd give me a great 3 or 4 letter domain related to my niche I'd consider rebranding.
Will be interesting to see how things will have played out in a years time
