I don't know what made you think that I am defending any overlord. Anything which bothers anyone, should be questioned, be it at any level. Its my understanding, that any registrar & registry does this, it is quite prevalent, my own one domain fell through this. In this case Google is both registry & registrar. Some others, like Donut, & many other registries also do it all the time. Google, or any registry for that matter, is not gonna care if somebody like me don't renew it (although as a principal I prefer to vote with wallet & have opinion that if regular domain gets classified as premium, one shouldn't renew & let registry try to see if they can get $$$ for it, barring any big business). Like many others, my digital life is also tangled with google ecoverse, and I am too lazy to even want it to be de-googled, although Google has hurt me quite a few times (first when they shut down the Reader), so, no I am not defending anybody. My understanding is, domains are on rent, nobody can own domain forever, at expiry owners (registry and or registrar) can price it what they want, and I try to register my important domains as far as possible.

> Anything which bothers anyone, should be questioned, be it at any level. I really question what makes a person need to live life like this. You're saying "at any level", so people really just aren't just allowed to be bothered by something, vent on their very reasonable grievance, and everyone moves on with their day... as long as you're around. No grievance shall pass this one untested! To be frank, that sounds like an exhausting and sparingly rewarding way to live life. And the irony when in your first sentence you're saying you're not defending them, and by your third sentence you've defended them again... maybe you should just read up on what "whataboutism" is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

  As English is not my first language, I don't think I am getting your point across, & I am reading conflicting points between your all messages. One can always take a part of sentence, & like splitting hairs, can manipulate that part's meaning. Just fot this post, by "at any level", I tried to agree to your original point of view that single vote matters, and one should stand up & raise voice, be it at whatever micro or tiny level (as long as the issue bothered one), just like a single vote. My third line is not an argument, it's a fact. Right or wrong, whatever one may think, it happens. Peace.
