Is it better to periodically clear unused handles and have them snatched up by bots or should they sell them? To me selling them gives people a chance to get the handle they want and stops bots from grabbing up popular handles.
If I want the handle fizz I'll pay about $10 if someone wants to pay more then they want it more than me. I'd rather be able to bid on it than have it grabbed by a bot.
No, if someone is willing to pay more than you they may want it less but also value their money less because they have a lot of it, or they may think they can use it to make more money than you are willing to pay for it. capital=power, not desire
In my opinion that still results in the handle going to someone who wants it more.
It's so rare to find a situation where someone's declared opinion is actually wrong on merit.
