The problem here is nobody milk-related cares and it would most likely get bought by a VC funded startup and become the name of some sort of AI js bundler tool.

That's what I was thinking. I've never really thought 'hey I like milk, I should check out the website', and I'd be surprised if anybody does.

A boutique brand probably wants their name everywhere, including the domain. So that just leaves the milk industry at whole, which I imagine doesn't care that much, either.

At least with the vidalia onion guy, he was able to do something with it. Milk is super perishable, hard to transport, and typically pretty regional, so that's probably out too.

I have a feeling this guy will end up dying owning a domain he made -$800 or so dollars on, and the registrar will auction it off for a fraction of his perceived value.

I'd bet, plenty of startups would love to have that domain. Biomilq, Remilk, Zero Cow Factory, Real Deal Milk.

Problem is, startups rarely have $10M to spend on a domain name. Give it a decade, one of them will probably bite.

>The problem here...

... is that there is no problem. They're just being silly.

IDK, if it was milk.io, milk.ai, maybe milk.xyz, then maybe we'd be talking, but milk.com? It's so … pedestrian.

/s … I hope.
