Payment is one time, it doesn’t renew. They won’t sell it unless it’s inactive. It won’t be inactive.

  For now. Although I doubt this would happen, they legally could write to you tomorrow demanding $100/mo because they want to.

    Well any company could legally do that at any point so I'm not sure how this is any different.

      The difference is not the company so much as the conviction of the person I am responding to. Although X has snagged names they want for their own use away from users

        I’m convinced they’d remove an active username someone paid money for as much as any other proprietary platform would.

        Me too. That's a fair statement.
