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.

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.

NIP-05 is not Verification
