Honestly surprised they didn't have it already....
- Yeah, that seems like an oversight on their behalf.
  
  It belonged to another startup, I guess they were négociating and seeing if Threads would pick up in usage before giving them an offer that they wouldn't refuse
- Yeah what idiot doesn’t have the domain name. The moment they released it, its value went up exponentially.

So many $$$$$$$$$$$$$, no doubt, for a single record in a database.
- A single record that is replicated to millions of other databases in a tree structure.
  
  For roughly 12 people to use haha
