    They should have just like doubled ipv4 so 192.168.1.1.1.1.1.1 at least that would have made sense

    IP addresses aren’t meant to be consumed by humans, that’s what DNS is for. That being said, nothing stops you from converting IPv6 addresses to that format. Two “digits” in an IPv6 address correspond to one block in IPv4.

    Also what people don’t understand is that the huge address space is not meant to to be exhausted. It provides “layers” with significant reserves to make routing easier and flexible.
