"Ideally, search engine algorithms would give new domain owners a fresh start."
I don't think it's possible to fix this problem without also helping bad actors. Maybe it's a problem that just isn't worth fixing. Just don't buy preexisting domains unless it's a project big enough to justify the necessary cost of due diligence.

- xp84 2y agoThe really bad actors just buy and discard new domains daily and silly blacklisting techniques are powerless to prevent that. I don’t think they renew and come back to try to use their domains years later.
- matheusmoreira 2y agoThen help them. If a few bad actors is the price of a free internet, so be it. I'd rather deal with those than have a whitelisted internet where you need permission to start a website.
