I was about to say, this type of automated domain purchasing and deployment is a godsend to scammers.

They buy up a bunch of .top, .shop and .xyz domains for $1 each. They spam them out in in all those "USPS tracking" spam text and Facebook fake store ads. The shelf life on these domains is a few days at best before they get shut down, now you can automate domain rotation and not have to pause your spam campaigns.



How come their domain registrar accounts don't get shut down?
