Claim your space. (Image: Domains.co.za)
THE INTERNET IS DEAD. The .com dream has been BURIED by corporate squatters, forcing a desperate generation of creators into a shocking new digital ghetto: the .SPACE domain. This isn’t about branding—it’s a HARSH ADMISSION of failure, a last-ditch scramble for ANY online territory by artists and innovators PUSHED OUT of the mainstream web.
This so-called “creative freedom” is a LIE. Registrars are PREYING on the disillusioned, selling them a virtual plot in a digital wasteland that screams “I couldn’t get the real thing.” The word “space” is now a corporate euphemism for “irrelevant,” a dumping ground for projects deemed too niche, too radical, or too SMALL for the traditional internet. Is this the future? A fractured online universe where true pioneers are exiled to obscure domains while giants control the .com citadels?
The DANGER is clear: this Balkanization of the web KILLS discoverability and legitimizes a two-tier digital caste system. They claim it’s “brandable,” but your .SPACE address is a SCARLET LETTER telling algorithms and users you don’t belong with the established players. This is a FIRE SALE on digital identity, marketing surrender as a virtue.
Worse, this “versatile” extension is a legal WILDLAND. What happens when conspiracy theorists, extremist groups, and illicit marketplaces also claim their “.SPACE” because it’s “available and unregulated”? The very ambiguity they praise is a ticking time bomb. We are not claiming space; we are FLEEING to the frontier, and the law may not follow.
Your website’s address is now the ultimate signal of your place in the pecking order—choose wrong, and you vanish forever. The question isn’t if you need a .SPACE, but what desperate reality forced you to settle for one.
