This is a "cool factor" splurge. Spending ~100k cash for a bootstrapped startup on something rather superficial is enough to question their future decision making. To me this shows a bit of immaturity and irresponsibility. What future shinny objects will they splurge on instead of focusing on investments that have more substance?
- jrockway 5y agoI wouldn't spend this kind of money on a domain name, but I guess you have to ask what else you'd use the cash for. 6 months of software development? When put like that, it's not clear to me that this is a bad idea. You can write a lot of code without attracting any customers.

- Doctor_Fegg 5y agoHonest question - why do you care? They're bootstrapped. It's their cash, not yours. If you were a shareholder then fine, but by definition you're not.
