.zip was especially egregious. No one should have allowed that to happen.

		There are three TLDs I block on my computer completely, and all of them are file extensions - .zip, .md, and .mov. (Yes, the domain "readme.md" exists. Fortunately, whoever owns it is not using their power for evil and does not have any webserver there... but I'm not risking it.)

Could do something like .brave and just sidestep ICANN?

there's a project for getting retro computers connected to an "internet" with 90s/00s services available, and they use .retro on that. it's pretty cute.

		This is the first I've heard of this and search results have been fruitless. Where can I find more info on this?

So this is my iCloud on the web for AI agents to pay me for access to my content (Cloudflare allows the bots in upon paying) :-)

Cloudflare offers this now (their Pay to Crawl service) but its not geared towards every human getting paid for their content. As of today Facebook and other social media platforms profit from our content....not us!
