I feel the same way about using nfts to sell jpegs on the internet

What about NFTs as registrations for domain names a la ens.domains?

I think there are some good uses for NFTs (and other token stuff), and this is one. The stupid jpegs thing is just... uhg, it's dumb and it's sad that that is where the technology went.

In principle it's less offensive than the "tulip mania" enthusiasm most people share, but it still suffers for the same reasons. Additionally, people simply might not care enough to register with NFTs - lord knows I don't care enough, and I'm one of the few people capable of doing it. But I'm not worried about getting my domain revoked so... what's the point? To spend money on a vanity label that a grand total of maybe 4 people will ever use?

ENS will inevitably butt up against the cryptocurrency problem of having few legitimate use cases and even fewer legitimate users. Outside the e/acc Twitter circles and lolcow online harassment forums, the demand for such an "uncensorable internet" is almost nonexistent.
