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?

Domains as a whole have had similar trajectories (with tlds / gTLDs) . I’m not surprised at all that namespaces are horizontalizing and that these + subdomain variations, have become popular. 

We need leaders that will index these spaces and also help these fractured namespaces properly display and be accessible both from web2 and web3 browsers and have proper SEO. People similar to @unstoppable , for example.

There’s a lot of difficulty/friction seamlessly integrating L1 and L2 namespaces into the overwall web, but Warpcast has done this well, and base seems to have as well.
