The entire tone of the article feels... condescending? (not sure the exact feeling). It feels off in the way information is presented, like subtle disdain in the writing voice.

I've been watching a domain name for years (15?) - it is a "funny prop from a niche movie" in the 90s that nobody even remembers and it's length isn't short etc., a name only a real nerd would even know (poilte cough). I've watched this domain pass from squatter to sqatter over the years, it doesn't sell but keeps getting picked up as soon as it expires at the previous squatter. The dotcom domain registry system is completely broken in favour of crony capitalism.

The number of good domain names being squatted on is too damn high. They'll never see a single one of my shiny nickels, much less a dirty old dime.
