Yeah... my intuition was/is it wouldn't make a big dent, but an interesting thought experiment.
That said. I think the small renewals are the part that makes holding onto these domains for years possible...
Random example. 20 years ago I had a one person local IT consulting side-gig. The domain was a not very useful, active less than a year and grabbed by a speculator as expected when I let it expire. It's been parked many places for years by various folks, current parking pages quote says they might be able get it for me for $120 [1] -- I could care less but if someone with less tech experience wanted it for their new small business they would likely bite.
Is there a economic mechanism you recommend to prevent this sort of thing?
