"person : so are you gonna help me or what ?"
Is code for: "do it for me" -
Root797504yIf you don’t want my help, you can fuck right off.
If you do want it, click the fucking link.
Did you click it?
No?
There’s the fucking door. Piss off and stop wasting my time. -
dder22814yWould have loved if that link would actually lead somewhere. I’m kinda disappointed now😕
-
@dder we could petition ICANN to make .blah a real TLD then we could all pitch in and register
blahblah.blah -
@butwhytho It's companies that manage TLDs, not ICANN (they just register them) and it costs 100k USD per year to operate (on top of infrastructure expenses).
So if y'all have 100k just laying around... -
Root797504y@junon So, someone paid $100k for .camera? And another for .bicycle? I don’t think so.
-
@Root I believe many were sponsored by ICANN as the new gTLD program. I just checked and I guess it's not yearly, but just the application fee, and apparently it's more than 100k - the article I found said 180k-200k.
For example, .google was not sponsored. -
@Root Actually, to answer your question - yes, kinda. A lot of them were indeed sponsored (sTLD's).
A company called Donuts bought and maintains .camera: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I couldn't find .bicycle, but .bike is owned by them too.
Here's a list - the company that owns the gTLD is listed under "operator": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
