If domains don't cost anything, what's going to stop spammers from registering literally all of the domain names? Spam domains are already a huge problem, and I can only imagine that problem getting much worse if the gate is not kept.
Idk how to solve that problem but the current system is increasing it: https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/
Handshake DNS has a cost but no one is ripped off since it is with a crypto that gets burned so everyone earns since burning -> deflation
That's based on cryptocurrency, if I'm not mistaken, and cryptocurrency is a scam.
