I reserve my applause for entrepreneurial initiative that actually *creates*
something or at least fulfills a need. The mass registration of generic
domains by the kind of bottom-feeding parasites who warehouse names does not
create value, nor does it fulfill a need -- in fact it does the opposite by
acting as an absurd bottleneck which restricts the ability of other to
launch businesses which create value. The fact that names are becoming
harder to find means genuine entrepreneurs have to pay through the nose for
good names, which increases the cost of start-up and ultimately applies
unnecessary friction to the new economy.
It is a waste of resources because money is siphoned off from the value
chain by parasites who contribute nothing whatsoever in return. Why do you
applaud that?
