Asking users to pay (and go through UX hassles) to register domain names is not a mainstream user experience. It was tried many times including with RSS and didn’t work. If your protocol design relies on it, it won’t scale. Centralized intermediaries will step in to streamline as Twitter et al did with RSS.

I learned that lesson <painfully> with RSS and saw Twitter wipe away years of “local minima” work. With the announcement of Hyperspace, we made it trivially easy and free and ended up with 21000+ folks who now have a “.hy” identity. We will backport it.. https://i.imgur.com/eVAwumz.jpg
