Seems like the right move from a volunteer run project, what will the future will hold though? Artificial scarcity is always a problem.

On another note, for just 20k$ I can offer you exclusive use of the xxgfzrf.dinglebop.me Public Suffix so that you can keep tracking your users. Please reach out to sales@example.com if you are interested.

It's interesting because being added to the PSL reduces your ability to track users. So yeah, I have a bridge to sell you, interested?

Not really, in fact it can increase your ability to track users if it's (ab)used in specific ways - see use case #2 and #3 here:

There's an approval process to be added to the PSL so abuses would be quite surprising and easy to remove when discovered.

This entire discussion is literally about how that's not the case.

To make things worse, it's basically impossible to remove a domain from the PSL as no one knows how software built against the PSL would handle it. A removal could break tremendous amount of software that people rely on.
