> I'm saying that spam like this is a consequence of cheap domains. Technically correct, but the thing is, spam like this is a consequence of a lot of things. Why draw attention to that specific cause out of everything else? You could just as accurately say that spam like this is a consequence of human-readable domains. If humans weren't visually validating URLs, it would be impossible for a scammer to use unicode tricks to make a URL look legitimate. A lack of gatekeepers means we'll have more scammers, yes. But, gatekeepers almost universally don't scale well in any system as large as the Internet, and they come with so many additional problems that they're not worth paying special attention to or prioritizing as a solution to any problem on this scale.
