I thought it would be cool to have my own TLD, but apparently it’s all managed by the ICANN, so you can’t just name your website with any TLD you want. There are different prices. But at least you can customize your second level domain. Why aren’t TLDs like this?
How is the internet supposed to work if we don’t agree on where every site goes? How are you supposed to decentralize a central agreement?
I meant more like did it have to be a central agreement for it to scale up to what it is now?
