That's the thing... just forward that site down to UberEats's site for 2 hours with an HTTP Header of "X-WANT-MORE-MONEY-CALL-ME: phone number" and you'll sell it

Without any content or a portal on the site, I wonder what the traffic numbers really look like right now. How many persons are manually typing burrito.com into the browser address bar every day? I've no idea.

I don't think you can set headers on redirects.

I guess one could do a Javascript redirect and I think the browser would set a referrer.

So you could redirect from burrito.domain to burrito.domain/call_us_at_xyz, and from that page redirect to ubereats, which will hopefully set a referrer.

Or one could also redirect to ubereats.site/?message=Hello+Uber+Eats, which probably won't break their site, but someone will hopefully see..

On the profit-type scale going from "doing a service" to "extortion," sitting on domains you have no use of feels much closer to the extortion end.

That's a lot of hyperbole. Just because it is more useful to someone else doesn't make it extortion.

It's rent seeking at best. You're providing no value to anyone by sitting on it.

You're "reserving" the domain for whoever values it the most so that some random blogger can't blissfully operate their website and refuse all sales to MegaCorp Inc.

I'm not sure that's beneficial overall, but it's a value-added service to MegaCorp.

Some random blogger would probably sell for less.

Also, you said it, but the whole revolving around the wealthy thing is kind of ridiculous given they can totally fend for themselves.
