Who profits from domain names fees - Lemmy

There are some people that asked a similar question but I don’t want who gets raw revenue, but who gets the probably obscene margins (profits thus) from paying $10-20/year for linking a piece of string and an IP address?

Can I expand this question to who gets profits when you buy land on the moon, or buy a star, as a gift? Is it completely bullshit or what?

If you don’t want to pay, there are other alternative domain name system, like OpenNIC. The problem is, most operating system don’t recognize them so you’ll have to go out of your way to install them into your machine, which significantly limit their adoption.
OpenNIC Project

An organization of hobbyists who run an alternative DNS network, also provides access to domains not administered by ICANN.
