For laughs I put my best-performing domain from sedo on AFD and have so far been underwhelmed.
There's little incentive to use AFD as it's basically a poorly designed featureless MFA anybody could put together on shared hosting, compared to the real parking services with sales tools, traffic stats, and (more importantly) let you just point domains at their nameservers.

I can't agree with you more. Hit the nail right on the head mate.
Adsense for Domains is just dumb. Its not like Google Domains at all, meaning, they have the same strict and stupid rules that Adsense has, so arbitrage is tough. When you lack the flexibility of domain feeds you can pretty much kiss your revenue goodbye, especially these days with SEO being a much more important factor in domaining.
See, with a feed, you get control and much lax rules. You can cut up your feed and turn it into something that looks similar to Adsense ads, but without the strict rules. Plus you can meld it into your content, and you have full control over the pages of the domains. Meaning you can add lots of useful and unique content, SEO the shit outta the page, get ranked well, and when someone clicks on one of the paid links, not only do you make a lot of cash per click, but the advertiser gets a user with some real value, not just some clicky retard who was mildly interested in the site because they lost their way searching for the domain they originally wanted.
This whole idea is just dumb. Get rid of it. It sucks for advertisers too. Poor quality. Sucks for publishers as "fraud" is going to be rampant on this pretty fucking quickly so your rules are going to get tougher and you'll probably get a lot of clicks charged back anyway.
