This is already the case with the current dns, since paying $10 per year is pretty much nothing to any middle class investor, so they do in fact "own" it forever for "free", relatively speaking.
- ipaddr 4y agoIf I had 10 dollars a year from everyone saying this I would be a new FAANG. Why is everything aimed at middle class Americans.. the average salary around the world is a lot smaller and many domains extensions exists which Americans can't buy. The early adopters got the first twitter names, instagram names, etc for free forever. People invested time signing up when you never thought of it and they get rewarded.. the platform gets the early adopters. We don't force users to pay and let other take the name and continue to be that person. Domains should be the same. When a domain expires someone can buy it and pretend they are the original owners. If they were free you could buy coolformatbestnamecoolformat still get the name you wanted and use a prefix postfix custom format to identify with a group. rubycooldomainruby reactcooldomainreact
