    No, it’s not at all the same situation or logic

    It’s more like building a second library for those books and putting it in an undesirable part of town. Still findable, just a bit harder and made less.likely for your average person to find

      Great analogy.

      I think it’s fair to tweak it and leave that second library with full accountability for the lack of desirability.

      Domain names don’t start out undesirable, they build their reputation from the content and users.

      So it’s like building a second library in a perfectly nice spot, and having that library attract people who dump pollution into the surrounding area, making it undesirable.
