I agree. I initially didn't get why something so easy to implement was considered "verification". I even posted about it. But, admittedly, since there were verification services popping up I thought maybe I could make one as well and earn some sats. I really like your little history lesson about nip-05 here though. It helps bring context to how we got here. I'm going to take down my little verification service because of it.
It only makes sense when you know the user at the other platform, of course.
So for example, dylan@stacker.news would be a useful NIP-05 for people to know that it is the same user in nostr and SN.
Having a NIP-05 from a random site that you don't have any content makes no sense, other than just showing an association of your persona with that random site.
