Yesterday’s examples

Spread across 3 zones (.info 100, .nyc 5, .com 2) and 3 distinct nameserver sets. The most common set, at porkbun.com, carries 98% of them. 98% of them share one porkbun.com nameserver set — likely bulk registration rather than many people, though shared infrastructure does not prove one owner.

At most 6 examples, printed as text and never linked. A name appearing here says nothing about its owner or its content.
