Would be interesting if clients provided an indication as to the number of pubkeys a domain is mapping in that nostr.json file. To me, If it's thousands, it carries far less weight then one only serving for say, a dozen or so. Right now I just consider well known ones (nostrplebs, nostrverified, iris.to, nostrcheck, etc) as being a pretty much free for all pay to play. Anyone that's able to pay for relays, support developers and such should be able to spend about $10/year on their own domain and setup their own managed nip05. It's not rocket science. It's more work to setup a VPS, or a typical Site ground website or woocommerce or Shopify store.

it's unrealistic to think that if nostr gets as big as we hope, that we're going to have millions or even billions of individual domain names being registered. could you image? LMAO! people haven't done this for the 40 years that email has been around. they're not going to do it for a nostr address if they didn't do it for an email address.
