    Because they prop up the infra to support them right?

        “it seems so backwards”

        They set the shit up, so they decided the behaviors.

          Yes, it is rather backwards for a handful of companies to own entire blocks of IP addresses just because. The infrastructure was massively funded by public dollars, it should be publicly owned.

            A fair point indeed, but that’s not how it is. Public dollars were funneled one-way into private infra, in many cases.

              Doesn’t mean it can’t be that way, though, One way nationalization also exists.
