dns more or less was infrastructure for the last 30 years. nobody cared.

the fact that for-profit shops wanted a piece of the intelligence within made it surface and now the webheads are shitting on it like there is no tomorrow

Run a better DNS server and see for yourself that there isn't any man behind that curtain.
