Every year around $4B is spent on websites. Where is the money going, who's getting rich?

It's monopolies like Verisign (of the .com tld) that have luxurious profits. No competition, plus they are allowed to raise their prices above inflation while their infrastructure costs go down every year.

"America" has our best interests at heart /s

This feels like a really weird comment on a post about gTLDs that exist in parallel to .com
