> I mean, I am happy for them but this concept of growing a business to an exit is not going well for society as a whole
The last thing I want is to be a 70 y/o still supporting a registrar. Especially considering the margins.
You can retire or quit, like a normal person. I'm sure you can find a new CEO.
The Alands Island .AX TLD allows anyone to be their own registrar for free. Only 20euro/year for domains.
You can be responsible with an exit and sell to someone you’d believe will keep the company’s mission.
