ah, makes sense. (parent explicitly said "TLD squatters. Same exact problem as before, just more expensive.") obviously doubt Google qualifies as a squatter.

Yeah, I don't know what the parent is on about, they're completely wrong. Nobody is squatting TLDs, all the new ones have gone to orgs actively working as registrars.
