One of the worst squatters right now is www.hugedomains.com They buy up expired domains and immediately put them up for sale for $XXXX At that price, they can sit on the domains for decades and still make a profit when it's sold. Eg: https://www.hugedomains.com/domain_search.cfm?domain_name=css https://www.hugedomains.com/domain_search.cfm?domain_name=cs...

This is something I’m terrified of. I feel like I can never let a domain that I may want to use again in the future ever laps or someone will buy it and extort some exorbitant price from me to get it back.

  That would be correct. Why are you terrified? Set up autorenewal in two places.

They really are the worst. I got in touch with them to buy one, as unfortunately they had one that I needed for business (speculatively registered on their part). When I asked how much they wanted for it, they then doubled the price to $10000 (9 characters, not commonly used words). In the end I went with an alternative TLD. it isn't as good, and I'd have been willing to pay a decent amount for the one I wanted (even their original price, reluctantly), but I refused on principle when they got silly. They are just parasites.
