Frankly, yes, a little bit. You're choosing to run your website/infrastructure/etc with a dependency on a sketchy service with no oversight (the ccTLD system in general, but .io in particular). Unless you suffer for this choice, the market for provider competence will be broken.

- dogecoinbase 9y agoNo. People who care about internet-scale infrastructural issues have known about these issues for a very long time. However, most people who utilize (and depend on) these services have not taken the time to understand how they work.

Jimmy Throwawaysite shouldn't have to take the time to understand how DNS works above knowing how to set DNS records, the oversight should come from above. If ICANN wants to let anyone with a couple hundred thou run a TLD they should be making sure that entity can technically manage the TLD.
