The gTLD scam actually decreased global namespace pollution. You used to register .com .org and .net so nobody else could claim the same name as you (nobody cared about other TLDs). Now with the proliferation of TLDs you can just pick a name and there's a good chance it's available under at least one TLD.

So more similar names unsorted in random locations in the tree. Aka. more pollution. We seem to have a different idea of the concept of pollution.


Namespace pollution is when all the good names are squatted.
