Yeah, I totally agree. I think there's no 1-size-fit-all solution. I think the problem should shift onto "how many solutions do we need"?

At least 2 I'd guess: 1 is going to be incomprehensibly hard and painful compared to now, but there will be maybe only a few handfuls per country. Sure you have to sacrifice your first newborn, but it will come with the full weight of government PSAs because lots of normal and vulnerable citizens depend on it.

The other solution matters less so, because it's could all just be optional/nice to have things, and if people want them, they have to accept some amount of risk/competency in exchange for easy of access. The current solution getting only <50% spam/scam seems to be doing better than traditional mediums so is probably fine for that group.

Maybe there's some more measure solutions between the 2 extremes, but I really don't think there can or should be 1 fix for the DNS system given the range of use cases and customers.

Regardless, Dave down at the local is always going to panic click amazaoncom.paercel-delay.info regardless of what the local bus stop ad or government tell him to do. Such a Dave thing to do.
