Interesting, I wonder if all the new TLDs have eased the pressure on .com/.net/.org/etc.
10-15 years ago, any remotely intelligible expired .com/.net domain would be picked up by bots as soon as it was available and held for years.
They would put them on sale for a much higher price (10x+ the yearly fee, much more if they were good domain names).
That was the last time I cared about domain names, as did many other people it seems.
Now it's just whatever. Make up a word that's easy to spell/pronounce/remember, even if it's nonsensical, and build a brand around it.
