My thing on this is, if it's not an attempt at being deceptive, why not put the ".com" in the text? With the ever-emerging new paysites with more and more unusual names, I'm wondering if it's going to get worse.
If I click on a link that says "Lesbian Nazi Hookers Abducted by UFOs" (nod to Wierd Al), I wouldn't be expecting a paysite.
Like I said, I'm on the fence and looking forward to the discussion
