There are some people that asked a similar question but I don't want who gets raw revenue, but who gets the probably obscene margins (profits thus) from paying $10-20/year for linking a piece of string and an IP address?

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.

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
