How did Google get the .youtube and .google TLDs?

  > How did Google get the .youtube and .google TLDs while barely using them? They got it by paying money and meeting the other new-gTLD compliance requirements during the new gTLD gold rush. None of those requirements involved current use or a forward commitment to heavy use, so the “while barely using it” is irrelevant.

I remember being impressed that the Aga Khan has his own TLD under this program: https://icannwiki.org/.agakhan https://icannwiki.org/.agakhan
