  It’s less sketchy if you pay for a domain through a reputable registrar

    The issue here isn’t the registrar though right? It’s that the TLD is being repossessed by the government of the country it’s meant to be associated with.

      I think the point is that a reputable registrar wouldn’t sell domains like these in the first place… But I’m not saying that’s actually the case :/

        Governments are unpredictable. It’s not the registrar’s job to mitigate that unpredictability to their customers.

    More like, it’s less sketchy if you pay for a domain at all. .ml was free, what did they think was going to happen?

  Indeed… you never really purchase a domain. It’s definitely more of a lease. And that’s any tld.
