I have a pretty good idea so people can have the same domain name, but their address could be at the end of the url to make it different

example

youtube.bit/1BDvQZjaAJH4ecZ8aL3fYgTi7rnn3o2thE
youtube.bit/35yTJTRLgSKcCshAer7XhA24PNJra8xrpW
youtube.bit/12cbQLTFMXRnSzktFkuoG3eHoMeFtpTu3S

So no matter what initial url you want, your address will be tied to it.

Then your website domain would be :
1. Very long
2. Unattractive
3. Not rememberable

You might as well as share your website's IP which is shorter and easier to remember (only 0-9 for IPv4 and 0-F for IPv6).

btw have they made a fix for the cloning address thing? I read something about it like 7 years. Is it still possible to just create a billion^10 addresses in the bitcoin wallet and obtain someone else's?  I know it would take years and the chances are really low, but if that is still a thing it needs to be fixed. I have a fix for that to. Well an idea to fix it, I am not a coder but I understand how it works a little.

There are 2^160 possible address combination (excluding P2SH and Bech32 address format) and chances for address collusion is near zero.

There are few concern cryptographic hash with 160-bit length (such as SHA-1) is no longer secure, especially to collision attack. But don't forget to generate an address (from private key) is far slower than run a hash function. CMIIW.

A few things we could do, is have a timer in play so you can`t create a new address on the same .dat file for at least every 24 hours.
Could the blockchain not already know what addresses have been created and cancel out duplicates, not allow that address to be used again? can we just add another digit or number to the address "bank"?

I started a auto clicker a few years back just to spam create addresses in the bitcoin wallet, I think if I multi boxed it I would get someone else`s at some point in time? or is this fixed?

It's possible, but the wallet must have list of all address which used on blockchain.
