5 bidders in a bid war that ends in 9 days and its already at $505
It's at nearly $700 now. I am not one to peddle baseless weirdo conspiracy theories but this seems sus af.
What we know: The user that previously held ownership of the OG domain has ceased contact and the domain is now up for auction.
Tinfoil hat time: The deep state is going to start targeting sites and communities like this because we offer a very meager threat to them and much like us they know dissent must be eradicated at its roots.
I really have no idea what a high traffic domain name is worth in terms of revenue from throwing garbage ads up on it. Maybe $700 isn’t out of the ordinary.
It'll just be libs and maybe misguided comrades with too much money thinking the domain name actually matters. It's not like hexbear gets linked from outside that often. I hope some maligned lib pays $5k for it, realises it's worth nothing, and starts a journey where they learn to touch grass instead.
