Comment on X is launching a marketplace for inactive handles

TehPers@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

Priority handles will be free and “often include full names, multi-word phrases, or alphanumeric combinations.” Rare handles, on the other hand, will be a paid option, and “may be priced anywhere from $2,500 to over seven figures, depending on demand and uniqueness.”

Ok so if it’s a “high demand” handle then I guess they bend you over for it. Domains are like that too, but it isn’t exactly something to strive for.

But more importantly, if you ever downgrade your X subscription, your account will revert back to your original username, and you’ll lose access to the one you snagged through the marketplace.

I really hope someone pays 7 figures for one only to get fucked by this. I want to see it so badly.
