I posted a question and it was marked as duplicate and before I could edit and explain why it's not, it was closed. I have edited it since.

I would like to reopen it, because it's basically the exact opposite of the proposed duplicate question.

So following this answer I'm posting on meta to get it reopened.

    Since you edited the question, it was automatically put in the "reopen" queue, allowing other users with enough reputation to vote to reopen if they agree with you. I have verified that it is indeed in the queue.

If I would "unduplicate" this, I would also close it as off-topic, maybe with a suggestion to read this book.

The reason is that your question doesn't deal with an actual current problem you have with administering a system under your control. Instead, it largely deals with understanding how DNS (and the murky business side of it with it spammers etc.) work on a fundamental level. This is off-topic.

Technically, the answer linked is the answer to your question: No, new domain names are not advertised via DNS because that is not how DNS works and the links and comments I gave explained what happens instead.
