imo buying an S tier .com for your startup for $1.8m is great if you can afford it

contrarian, wins the battle for attention, can be sold for cash if needed

will not get you to pmf on it's own but it's not as stupid as some people make it to be

I actually don’t see it as contrarian at all it’s a pretty old school basic money spend. Also think .com’s won’t appreciate that much relatively in an AI/search world. 

Lastly I find this even stranger for non platforms. supercast .com I can understand because users are going to the app url daily to use it, sharing links from it etc. Friend .com is just a landing site for a hardware product. Visits isn’t even a core KPI I assume. 

Would rather buy a warehouse and 20 Tesla bots to manufacture these. Can also be sold for cash w/o confusing users when your domain disappears. Also news worthy
