ENS names are going through an interesting phase. Original vision was one name everywhere, but L1 got too expensive so people have offchain ENS (farcaster) and L2 ENS (base names, world names). The natural progression seems to be towards multiple ENS namespaces - is this a net good thing?

It's something like $8 right now to register an ENS for 1 year. Consumers are always going to opine & pout for lower prices, but at some point we need to put our foot down and say "we know what we're worth, pay up or go somewhere else." L2s of course are a great solution in the same way everyone got GMail/Yahoo/Hotmail emails and didn't go buy their own domains.

Anything 5 characters or over has the lowest price. You can expect to pay more for a shorter premium name, but that has nothing to do with gas fees. https://support.ens.domains/en/articles/7900605-fees
