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

Ah, I remember now.

I bet a few millions changed hands to settle that.

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.
