The problem is that it only takes a few hits at $2500/yr to make it worth it to screw a bunch of people out of an already overpriced domain.

So if you serve 15,000 people with .party domains at $29/yr each, you only need 175 people to pay $2,495 and you've already made more money.

I don't mind paying more for a domain, I might even pay a measurable amount of money every month for the right one, but trying to insist that jacki.party is worth $210/mo is bananas.
